Objectives and activities

Granton Community Gardeners began as a group of neighbours who decided to work together to turn a plot of waste ground into a community garden. We set up as a charity in order to be able to support more residents in our area to do similar things, and to pursue the following aims:

1.To support the advancement of a well functioning community with an increasingly healthy social, environmental, and economic fabric. Particularly by creating opportunities for people to meet together around food (growing cooking and eating) and by supporting those who take initiative on this.

2.To promote environmental improvement, including protecting and increasing biodiversity, by creatively imagining the best uses for our open spaces, and by caring for these spaces, particularly community gardens.

3.To advance health and wellbeing, both physical and mental, by: i. facilitating and supporting access to gardening opportunities, and other community events.

ii. contributing to improved diet through increased access to, and availability of, fresh local produce.

4.To advance education and skills, particularly related to food (growing, cooking, and eating).

Our activities over the past year have included:

1/ Our weekly gardening club

Gardening Club is a weekly open afternoon drop-in session where anyone is welcome to gather to work together on a range of seasonal gardening tasks. These sessions are hosted by members of staff, who can give guidance and

find suitable tasks for all abilities and skill/confidence levels. This is a busy and friendly group, who maintain the garden, grow substantial amounts of food, and share knowledge and skills.

During Gardening Club, we are open for the public to visit the garden, including our free shop, and to join us for our weekly free Community Lunch. It’s a place where anyone can come and get food, clothes, and other items. Everything is free, and everyone has the opportunity to contribute in some way.

We aim to host the garden in a way that provides a safe context for community members to work together, and provide for each other in a way in which everyone benefits.

We were open 50 Wednesdays of the year (in all weathers!) with an average 52.1 participants, and a high of 101.

2/ Women’s Cooking Club

Cooking on a sunny day October 2024

Every Wednesday in school term time we’ve run Women’s Cooking Club. This is a partnership project with Pilton Community Health Project, and is a two hour group, where local women meet and cook together, including taking it in turns to teach others to make cultural dishes and specialities. The group is supplied with fresh ingredients, and together the group prepares a meal which is served in the garden, free and open to all. During the warmer/lighter months the cooking all takes place in the community garden, in the Winter we use the indoor facilities at the Health Project.

Fresh vegetables from Lauriston Farm

This year through our partnership with Lauriston Agroecology Farm, we’ve been able to supply a much larger quantity and variety of fresh local produce that we’d be able to from our community gardens alone.

Throughout the year, 95 different women joined in with Cooking Club, and dished up 1,910 meals to the community.

A few comments from participants:

“I enjoy the camaraderie and the shared organizing of the preparations. It's great to see you should cook what you had planted, and watched grow.”

“Coming to cook then eat with everyone has made me feel so much happier in my life. I was very lonely, and I find it difficult to meet people. I feel like I am meeting friends when I come here and that makes me feel happy.”

"I learned don't worry if there are some religious and language differences amongst us, if we all gather as humans and support each other, as a community member I can relax and enjoy myself”

“I like to work in a team. It's always a bit crazy but we laugh a lot.”

“It's nice to mix with some people, especially if you don't go out much. I like the women who come here and the women who run it are very friendly. I usually don’t like groups, but this one is different. We're all putting something in and that makes me feel good about myself.”

3/ Hosting Free Community Meals

Hosting Community Meals is a core part of our work. Over the past year we hosted 66 different events which included a meal. The average number of diners/participants was 56.1.

This is possibly the single most impactful thing we do: provide frequent and regular opportunities for people to enjoy a tasty nutritious meal with others.

A few comments from participants:

“The community lunch has helped me to settle into the community and has made a huge difference to my wellbeing. I am so happy to be eating fresh vegetables especially when I don’t feel up to cooking healthy food for myself”

“These lunches have made a great difference in my week as they have secured a routine of socialisation outside of work and my family.”

“I definitely get my five-a-day on Wednesdays. And it's a delicious five-aday. Sometimes I think I'm getting more like 10-a-day on Wednesdays. It's definitely the day I eat the most healthy food”

“It's a really important part of the week for me and has helped me to meet people. I also love the amount of fresh veg involved!”

As well as our weekly Community Lunches, we’ve partnered with local charity Scran Academy to provide monthly evening meals at the garden using the Scran Van, (their catering van). These are always at 5pm, which can be a sunny relaxed afternoon in summer, or a chilly evening in Winter.

4/ Providing training and workshops

We’ve continued to provide various skills workshops according to demand, including sourdough baking, fruit tree pruning, keeping hens in community gardens.

5/ Hosting Large Community Events.

Our biggest two events of the year were our Burns Night Community Ceilidh (a partnership with Pilton Community Health Project, Royston Wardieburn Community Centre and others), and our Harvest Festival. Both involved large numbers of local people contributing performances, helping serve food, decorating venues, etc. eg. the Burns Night Community Ceilidh had over 80 performers, including folk, classical, punk, Bollywood dance, Ukrainian dance, community choirs, songs in different language, as well as lots of Burns poetry and ceilidh dancing. We also contributed to the busy North Edinburgh Community Festival held in West Pilton Park in May.

6/ Hosting Groups

Our garden is now well established as a community venue and is regularly used by several different local organisations to run groups, including Stepping Stones North Edinburgh, Willowden Nursery, and Pilton Community Health Project.

We continue to attract lots of interest in our work from further afield and have hosted study visits from Heriot Watt University, Queen Margaret University, and Edinburgh University.

7/ Supporting gardening throughout our area

Our organisation began as a group of neighbours growing food on street corners in Wardieburn which became a network which spread through the local area. As a charity we continue to support this network, for example by providing bulk compost deliveries, advice, and other practical support and materials when needed.

8/ Biodiversity work

Members of our organisation have been finding more ways to get involved with caring for our local ecosystems, and this year this action has expanded to include our local sea. We’ve been helping with the

Helping clean oysters ready to be reintroduced to the Forth

Restoration Forth project, to reintroduce European Flat (native) Oysters into the Firth of Forth. These used to number in the hundreds of millions, but were fished to extinction by the early 1900s. Oysters play an important role in the marine ecosystem, and each adult oyster can filter as much as 200litres of seawater per day. This project has caught a lot of people’s imagination and is a great (and rare) positive environmental news story.

9/ Bike Repairs

We’ve hosted 4 free Dr Bike sessions at the garden, with over 30bikes receiving a free safety check with minor repairs (and some bigger ones) carried out by trained bike mechanics. This is thanks to the R2 network, and coordination from North Edinburgh Arts.

10/ Granton Chicken Co-op

A flock of egg laying hens are kept at the community garden. These are owned and cared for by a co-operative of 12 local households, who share costs, care, responsibility, risk, and eggs. The hens add a lot of value to the garden as a whole, and the co-op model makes livestock ownership

and care a practical possibility for people who could never otherwise benefit from this.

11 / The Free Shop

Our Free shop is a large room in a shed, where people can either donate or collect clothes, toys, small furniture and bric a brac. It has become one of the most popular features of the garden and has diverted several tonnes of useful items from landfill, as well as providing people with things they need and saving a lot of money. We always emphasise that using the freeshop is not about being ‘in need’, but about reducing resource consumption. The challenge is often avoiding an excess of donations. There is ‘too much stuff’ in our city, while plenty of people don’t have what they need. We need to get better at redistribution to where resources are needed, and the free shop is our contribution to this.

12/ Granton Seed Savers

This initiative has hosted workshops, distributed seeds at events, and is collating a seed library of saved seed from useful crops that grow well in North Edinburgh. Links are being made with other seed libraries and groups around Scotland.

10/ Granton Garden Bakery

Our bakery has taken big steps forward this year, increasing sales, and creating more paid local employment in the process. We’ve partnered with Lauriston Agroecology Farm to run a farm stall during the Summer, and have been selling some loaves alongside their vegbox scheme. We’ve also received media interest with features about us (especially our Pay What You Can model) on Radio 4, in Positive News, The People’s Friend, and a mention in the Guardian.

Our sourdough loaves are on sale every Saturday

13/ Crop Trials, and our Wheat Growing Project

In August 2024 we harvested our biggest crop of grain yet! Over 100 volunteers worked together to harvest 1/2 acre of our heritage Scottish Wheat, and 1/2 acre of oats and rye. This scale is too small to be worth bringing in a mechanised harvester, but was an experiment for us, in how much is practical to do by hand. One of the most interesting results was how much people enjoyed the experience, with people describing learning a lot about grain in a very practical way, meeting new friends, having great conversations while working

together. There were profound reflections on how harvesting always used to be a community activity, and the good things that we can recover by working in this way even as a one off activity amidst busy city life.

We also grew a great small crop of wheat at our community garden

14/ Working for more Community Growing Opportunities across the City

We’ve put lots of effort this year into trying to increase the opportunities for Community Growing across the city. This has included speaking at Edinburgh Council Committees in support of the Right to Grow Policy, and about applying the Community Wealth Building Policy to Greenspace improvement work.

These are both very positive changes that City of Edinburgh Council will hopefully adopt, which will enable local communities to play a greater role in caring for local land; and give more people the opportunity to be able to grow at least a bit of their own food.

15/ Other social enterprise work

We conducted some paid projects for other organisations this year, including running a series of gardening workshops for Harbour Homes. We have also done some paid consultancy for other organisations.

16/ Nature Neighbourhoods

Our partnership project with the National Trust, RSPB, WWF, and 17 Community organisations around the UK has continued to progress well. It’s been particularly valuable learning from organisations in different towns and cities that have similar aims to ourselves. In October we hosted the whole project at our community garden.

Structure, governance and management

Type of governing document

Our organisation is governed by our SCIO constitution. We adapted this in order to become a Tier 2 SCIO in 2019.

Trustee recruitment and appointment

We registered as a charity in January 2017 with 5 trustees, of these 3 have continued to serve, with one resigning (due to moving away), one retiring, and four joining the board.

Financial review

See our accounts for details. Our organisation is in good financial health. We have been able to generate 32% of our own income this year through social enterprise activity, both through our bakery, and through consultancy and running workshops for other organisations.

Reserves policy

We always hold reserves sufficient to meet any obligations we may incur such as staff redundancies at the end of any grant funded post. In addition we aim to hold sufficient reserves in order to enable us to consider some sources of income that need to be claimed in arrears without creating cash flow problems. This year in particular we are looking ahead to making some improvements to the buildings in our

garden, as well as a potential expansion of our bakery, both of which will require significant funding. We have increased our reserves target to £45,000 and we currently have £18 above this amount.

Details of any deficit

N/A

Donated facilities and services

We work in partnership with a wide range of local organisations, and have received in kind support in the form of venue use (thanks to Royston Wardieburn Community Centre, City of Edinburgh Council, and Pilton Community Health Project).

Future plans

We will continue to host regular community meals and bigger celebrations, bringing people together around food: eating as well as

growing and cooking. We continue to aim to make sure that no-one need go hungry in our community and that everyone has regular opportunities to eat with others in a safe and welcoming environment

We’ll continue to provide a variety of opportunities for people to join with others to grow and cook food and to learn new skills, continuing to recognise and promote the amazing wealth of skills in our community.

Hebridean Rye, August 2024

We will continue to provide support to local people who want to develop good ideas that fit with our charitable aims.

We will explore with local people, opportunities to create new foodbased enterprises.

We will make physical improvements to our community garden infrastructure, particularly the outdoor kitchen and dining facilities.

We continue to work on our plans to move the bakery to new premises in order to be able to expand production, as well as to develop a local infrastructure to grow, harvest, process, store and mill, grain at a scale that is measured in tens of tonnes.

Community lunch January 2025

We will partner with other organisations to plan and action ambitious improvements to our local green spaces to improve biodiversity, food production, and the wider health and wellbeing of our community.

We will keep discovering more about how community can form around sharing food.
