Get involved:

Residents from the Burnfoot community and wider area can come and get involved. Volunteering is really important to us and the success of this project. We are always looking for more people to get involved in whatever way they can. If you have any time, skills or experience that you feel might help the project please get in touch and we’ll see how we can support you to take part. The produce that is grown in the garden will be available to the community either through supplying the café, one of our workshops or through our free FOODSHARE stand at the Hub where a selection of donated or grown fruit and vegetables are available to take away.
