The organisation offers a range of group activities which are delivered across two sites –

Both venues are not generally open to the general public unless by invitation.
Activities offered include cookery and life skills, arts and crafts, music, news teams and local project work linked to the wider community.
Most of the horticulture activities take place at our allotment site at Boundary Way in Warstones. This site provides a community setting with outside growing space and access to the sites buildings to provide undercover room for activities in poor weather.
Products that are made and grown are sold at craft and plant fairs and other organised events. This provides participants with opportunities to be involved in a range of activities, to experience new places and to meet new people.
Typical day sessions are from 10am until 3.00, days and times can be flexible and extended to suit the people involved.
