The charity is currently working to create the gardens that will be used to fulfil the charitable objectives. Development of the gardens slowed down during the year ended 29 February 2024 and into the year ended 28 February 2025 because of issues surrounding planning permissions however the trustees and pleased to be able to report that these issues have now been resolved and the charity is able to push forward with the delivery of its objectives.
Further work has been done on planting the gardens. Including the Trustees, the charity currently has 50 volunteers registered to provide occasional assistance with this work.
Produce continues to be grown for donation to local food banks in the poly tunnels, providing support to other local charities who in turn provide support to those in need.
We would like to give our thanks to Warranty Solutions Group Ltd who continue to provide support to the charity with the donation of some time and expertise from their staff.
