Benfieldside Community Garden is on the Good to Grow Map!
Benfieldside Community Garden is now on the Good to Grow map - we are delighted to be part of the Good to Grow network, and look forward to being involved in their events!
"Good to Grow (the new name for the Big Dig) is an online platform to support food growing in the UK, run by Sustain. The Good to Grow Network is all about getting people involved in their local community garden."
Our first event linked to Good to Grow, will be in the week of the 22nd to the 29th April - exact details to follow!
"Good to Grow Week celebrates the new growing season and is a chance for volunteers and community members to help out in their local garden, while supporting and enjoying the valuable community food growing spaces around the UK. It’s also a great way to get the garden ready for the growing season, promote growing for nature and build the Right to Grow movement across the UK."
We are very excited about this new venture, if you would like to volunteer, please get in touch!

Starting School
As we approach the ‘big day’ for the students who are either starting school or who are moving up to ‘big school’, I thought I would share my own experience of the preparation for my own first day at school.

Why Volunteer?
Volunteering can be one of the most rewarding things that you can do in life. It takes a very special person to give up their own time to help others in need. As part of our Know Your Neighbourhood programme, you have the opportunity to join our team and make a difference in our community.

Voices of Consett- Shauna
Shauna's contribution is the first in our series called 'Voices of Consett'. Our aim is to have over 100 editions from a whole variety of people who live in Consett. This is all part of our Consett Heritage Project. There will be recordings of the voices, and they will also be visually represented and form part of our final exhibition.
