We welcomed back some familiar faces and some new volunteers from Lloyds banking group on Tuesday 5th March. The team were tasked with tidying up our allotment plot at Highfield allotments ready for the new planting season and the beginning of our allotment group this spring.

The team did an amazing job completing the sorting, sweeping, organising and clearing during the morning. They even alphabetised and listed all of our seeds! We hope that this work combined with our current growing vegetables course with @sowthecity and recruitment of an allotment support worker Work with us (creativelivingcentre.org.uk) 
will make for a plentiful season of growing to be then brought to our kitchen for Lisa and volunteer team to create some beautiful meals for our Wednesday lunch.

The team spent the afternoon helping clear out and reorganise our art room which was incredibly helpful! Our arts materials get used not only for ‘Arts for all’ on a Monday but also art therapy and other sessions throughout the week including ‘Ladies support group’ on Thursdays.
​
We want to extend a MASSIVE thank you to the team from Lloyds, they have helped to prepare spaces that our members value greatly and will contribute to their wellbeing. We hope to welcome them back again next year!
