Volunteering Opportunities with Holme Farm Community Workshops & Gardens

About

Improving People’s Lives Many people assume that community gardens are just nice places to visit where plants are grown and animals kept. But that is far from the whole picture. Ours will also offer an amazing array of benefits and opportunities, including education programmes, healthy living initiatives, work and skills training, volunteer opportunities, environmental schemes, horticultural therapy groups, facilities for people with disabilities…the list goes on and on! Three years ago Ronnie Kendall, supported by his wife Christine, alighted on the idea of building a community workshop in Woodham, which could offer a space for people to come together, help address loneliness and support wellbeing. Since then the aims of the project have increased, with Ronnie and the committee of volunteers now hoping to deliver a range of facilities which could not only benefit the local community but also work with schools, charities and the NHS.
