Volunteer with Stamford Street Allotment

Volunteer with us:

​

TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) and Stamford Street Allotment Society have been working together over the last year to build a wheelchair-accessible community garden where locals can thrive.

​

A total of £14,625 has been raised to bring the project to life and this will include a range of accessible features such as wheelchair-friendly paths, accessible vegetable bed foundations, and sensory areas such as a pergola, pond, and wildflower garden.

​

The project is almost complete, but the group is now calling on skilled builders, creative artists and green-thumbed gardeners from the area to lend a hand in the creation of a special section for wheelchair users, children, and people with disabilities.

​

If you fit the above description, then your support could be key to ensuring that the space is able to open as planned.

​

Volunteers can get involved individually or as part of a corporate group by visiting the TCV website and contact Neil McMahon to register your interest or via the form below

​

Schools and community groups can also contact Stamford Street Allotment if they wish to visit the site, by completing a contact form at: www.stamfordstreetallotment.co.uk.​
