ALLOTMENTS WHITEMOSS YOUTH CLUB

  This is  progress of our allotments that we have got Funding. £3,010  from Northwards Housing(Part of the Your Green Corner Application) in Partnership with The Big Dig)  We'll be getting 36 railway sleepers to make up 3 raised beds suitable also for wheelchair users, to grow their own fruit and veg.There will be a garden shed to store tools and other garden stuff. There will be other sleeper beds laid, so that other user groups can grow their own fruit and veg. There will be couple of table and benches so anyone can sit down and chill. We are hoping to raise a little more funding to have a high fence erected, so the allotment is more self contained and has its' own secure area to eliminate vandalism.A Big Thank You to Northwards Housing for there support.
