By Goscote Greenacres Community Garden
to engage the community in worthwhile and constructive activities to help tackle isolation, increase well being and help develop new skills
The project seeks to engage the community (predominantly men, but all would be welcome) in a project which supports those isolated and inactive to take part in projects which increase wellbeing and get people active. Based a Goscote Greenacres the project would host supported fishing sessions which develop skills and bring people together. Those who don’t have a keen interest in fishing but would like to develop hobbies and interests would take part in the men’s shed element, or community garden.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
being situated in one of the most deprived wards in the borough, the project gives us a chance to engage the local community in useful and constructive work whether through the the workshop or fishing as a means to help tackle isolation and mental health issues.

VolunteerGoscote Greenacres was set up as a means to bring adults with learning disabilities and the local community together as a way to tackle prejudice. we run a volunteer scheme for adults with learning disabilities who help maintain the site. it gives them a chance to feel part of the local community. The plot holders are all from the local community which has high levels of unemployment, poor health outcomes and below average educational attainment. As we have many raised beds it allows the less able to enjoy gardening and reap the benfits if freshly grown local produce.
