500 together

Sadly, at the end of last year, the site of The Darnall Allotment Project had an overnight arson attack and was badly vandalised.     Our member who sent us this nomination told us that The Darnall Allotment Project has been around for over 20 years and involves the local community in a lot of ways. A lot of hard work has been put into it by staff, volunteers and local people and the allotment has come a long way over the years. The garden has now got a large variety of plants, flowers, trees, a wooden sheltered space for people to have gatherings, training or a cup of tea and much more. Darnall Well Being, who we have supported in the past, also uses this space for delivering activities for their Dementia project. The allotment offers a variety of fun opportunities for local people to get involved, including regular Dementia sessions, sowing, planting, growing, composting, seasonal activities such as apple juicing, sitting and telling stories around a fire pit and loads of others.
