THE ALLOTMENT TEACHES PARTICIPANTS TO GROW THEIR OWN FOOD AND TACKLES POVERTY THROUGH BUILDING SKILLS, CONFIDENCE AND A COMMUNITY.

WE RUN A COMMUNITY ALLOTMENT, WITH PARTICIPANTS FROM ALL WALKS FOR LIFE, GETTING INVOLVED IN GROWING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, IMPROVING HEALTHY EATING AND REDUCING PERSONAL FOOD COSTS. 

Re:store Allotment is a volunteer led project, that seeks to grow skills and independence through growing fruit and vegetables. Participants are invited for a 4 week course, to learn how to sow, grow and harvest edible plants, and welcomes complete beginners through to those with green fingers!
A dedicated team of volunteers work alongside participants, sharing skills and knowledge and also sharing life together. It is a special community, that most don’t want to leave. There is an opportunity for committed participants to continue past the 4 weeks, and have a free mini-plot, to grow their own produce throughout the year.

The Allotment is on Wednesdays 10am-12pm. All seeds/plants, equipment and tools are provided free of charge for the duration of the project. The Allotment is in Weston Favell/Abington area, and if transportation is a barrier, we would be happy to discuss this. Children over the age of 3 can attend the sessions accompanied by an adult. Parents are always responsible for their own children.

We accept self-referrals and referrals from professionals for clients to participate, and if individuals need support to engage, we would encourage this to come from the referring agency. We do need to know a few details and share some information before participants start, so please get in contact if you want to get involved. (link to contact us)​

“The Allotment is an amazing project, which is bringing together members of the community from diverse backgrounds. People involved have visibly grown in confidence, found a new energy, and relaxed and chatted in a supportive environment whilst learning practical skills. Over the last few months some of those involved have expressed a sense of wonder at the natural world, a feeling of well-being and valued the opportunity to experience “me-time.”

​STORIES

Anna  was referred by a local women’s refuge. She came along with others from the same location with no knowledge of growing things. Right from the start she was very keen to learn and just got on with things, whilst chatting to other participants.

​By the end of the course, she was confident to work independently with few general instructions. When she was invited to continue with the allotment mentorship on a mini-plot, she jumped at the opportunity being offered and had her eye already on a particular mini-plot.

​The volunteers spent time getting to know Anna, so were able to match her closely with a mentor who she is now working 1:1 with. She is growing in confidence as well as in skills and ability.
