Great news!
Announced today – Monday 23rd November 2020 – we’re one of 300+ community organisations to secure a CCLORS grant. It’ll help us provide vital support to our local community, particularly those most impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
We’re planning to use the grant to develop our Growing Together initiative that we ran during the first lockdown. We are aiming to put together many, many more salad and veg grow packs to give out to communities, schools and organisations to help get people growing together! We are also going to translate the growing instructions into a number of other languages, such as Urdu, Gujarati, Arabic and Polish to help reduce the barriers to participation in this initiative. We will also be developing other related activities including recipe ideas, photo competitions, improving gardening skills, advice on how to build raised beds and how to re-use everyday items as growing containers.
We are currently recruiting for another member of staff to carry out this project so watch this space and get in touch if you are interested in taking part.
CCLORS is the Covid-19 Community-Led Organisations Recovery Scheme. It is being delivered by Power to Change, Locality, Social Investment Business and the Ubele Initiative in partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund
