Our Community Projects

Homegrown

Our Homegrown gardening programme enables communities to get involved in active gardening and learning about biodiversity.

Getting people excited about community green spaces, sharing gardening skills, growing their own fruit and vegetables and taking care of our natural environment.

We work with our tenants, community groups, volunteers and our partners to get creative with outdoor spaces, share gardening tips and learn to be more about nature.

If you would you like to:

• Gain new gardening skills and create a community garden
• Create community areas that are ideal for bees, butterflies and wildlife
• Learn to grow your own fruit and vegetables
• Get inspiration and ideas for your own garden

Beacon / Be Active

If you’re a tenant and would prefer one to support to improve your health, or if you’d like to chat about the project before deciding if it’s for you, you can chat to Steph over the phone or speak to your housing officer who can give you more information.

We offer a weekly yoga classes and walking groups which are open to anyone. Email Steph to book a space or for more information.

Greener RCT

In this time of climate emergency, we are delighted to have received UK Government funding which enables us to launch our new exciting Greener RCT project.

We will be offering educational activities and opportunities that will address the importance of working to address climate change. We’ll be working across RCT, in partnership with local businesses, schools, colleges, the construction industry and community groups to champion change through collective climate action.
