Grow Active Allotment Scheme - Blackburn with Darwen
The team cleared the allotment, put up a shed and built raised beds. They worked with participants to grow produce and found this helped to improve the participants’ access to and knowledge of fresh food, and understanding of each other.
From this project, the community was spurred on to continue with its improvements in lifestyle and integration, and received National Lottery funding to revive an outdoor bowling green. The membership is focused on involving different racial and cultural groups and young people in this form of exercise.
