This community charity is accessible for all ages and abilities and has been run for the community by the community since 2005. Working with locals from all walks of life including wheelchair users, people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities or other support needs, families, children and older people, locals work together in friendly integrated groups according to need and ability. Projects include, Tuesdays ‘Learn and Grow’ accessible gardening day, Wednesdays Men’s Shed rural crafts, Thriving Thursdays therapeutic gardening, and across the projects, ‘Stepping Stones to Work’, Plot to Plate cookery, ‘Jammy Dodgers’ preserves. More recently, responding to the cost of living crisis, the charity has developed a community outreach service, delivering fresh produce to locals signposted from the food bank. All projects aim to make gardening and rural crafts, healthy local food and community wellbeing, accessible to all.
