And Sow to Grow Annual report 2024
This year we have seen a small increase in our income for projects and our work with one-to-one students on site.
Our memorial lamp project is now complete with a wrought iron sculpture lit by a solar powered light in memory at the members of the crew and students who perished in a Wellington Bomber crash near to the wood. We have several QR code web site linked signs around the area.
The project was undertaken with the help of students, members of the community and the local historic group. The local, and county council also helped spread the word through their networks.
We have hosted several events and cooking for life sessions run by a local education partner. Our work also included open days for schools for students who match our criteria.
Sessions undertaken have included making solar panels to run a radio, solar powered ovens, bird and bat boxes, bird feeders, planting a new section of garden border, recycled kites, planting, veg growing, art, wellbeing yoga sessions and circus skills.
In 2024 we are planning several similar sessions as well as bringing back the toddler stay and play, pop food trucks to raise funds and a gardening club to help local seniors enjoy a hot drink and company of others.
It must be added that this was achieved by a dedicated team of volunteers and trustees who have worked hard to keep the charity a viable option. Our one part-time member of staff has had their work cut out too.
Our income from grants and session fees reached £10,193 of which we have spent £7750 leaving unfenced income of £2442, for work in 2024/25
