The Community Growing and Food Network is facilitated by Durham Community Action to bring together like-minded organisations with projects or an interest related to growing and food. It enables community groups and organisations from all sectors with similar visions to connect, communicate and collaborate, supporting each other and sharing good practices.
Our next meeting will be in person on Thursday 3rd April at Pioneering Care Centre, Carer’s Way, Newton Aycliffe, DL5 4SF from 1.00 – 4.00pm.
We will hear all about the Pioneering Care Centre and in particular its community garden which is used as a multi-generational space. This will include talks from volunteers and staff about ways to make community gardens and growing spaces accessible to everyone.
There will be a tour of the new hydrotherapy pool, community garden and outdoor gym followed by refreshments and plenty of opportunity to network, make connections and share experiences together.
We will also be joined by Sarah Doherty from Step Together Armed Forces Community Programme to learn about their gardening project at the Recovery Centre, Catterick.
Accessible premises: this is a fully accessible premises with accessible toilets, free car parking and overflow parking available nearby.
