02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our mission is to promote sustainable gardening and to provide a facility not only to the plot holders using the allotments but to bring in the wider community through our social events, engagement with the local primary and nursery school, running workshops and provision of a green waste scheme which is not offered by the regional council. We are an-ongoing project looking too continually develop, using our existing volunteers and attracting others who can use the gardens as a facility and outlet for their interests.
