👏 💚Thank you Community Gardening Volunteers 👏 💚

From planting and watering to weeding, harvesting and everything in between, your time, hard work and enthusiasm have made a real difference. We couldn’t do it without you! 💚 These photos don’t include everyone - some are camera shy!
Thank you all - our brilliant community of volunteers 🌻👏 💚

🤝 Great to connect today!

We met with the wonderful Burton Albion Community Trust Social Prescribing Team East Staffs Social Prescribers at Kingfisher Community Garden to share information, exchange ideas and talk about the projects supporting our local community. 💚

It was a great opportunity to explore how we can continue to work together to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and connect people with community opportunities.

Thank you Burton Albion Community Trust Social Prescribing Team for taking the time to meet with us! 🌟

Steve has been working hard and his produce is looking fantastic! 👏🥕🥬There’s just one thing he’s still waiting patiently for… those tomatoes to turn red! 🍅😂 He’s hoping they will eventually be as red as his Manchester United shirt!? 🔴⚽

Well done Steve & thank you for all your volunteering 🌿👏
