Gardening Project

The Club is delighted to be helping Alpha Housing with their gardening project at their Carrs Court accommodation, Sandy Row and on Friday 19 January a joint team from the Club and Cleaver Fulton Rankin braved the cold to help there.

Sadly it wasn't possible to do any planting as snow was still on the ground! However, they were able to clear areas ready for planting in the spring and, as the residents had asked for raised beds to grow vegetables and herbs, some of the team made the beds while others filled them with soil - a rather back breaking activity... The group were helped by Alpha Housing’s ground staff supplied by the social enterprise property maintenance service Outwork which works with people who have been through the justice system providing transitional employment and the skills to allow them to move forward to permanent employment. It is hoped to have a follow up event later in the year.
