The Gateway Allotment Project is a community garden project which runs from New Pond Farm Allotments in Earlswood.

The Gateway Allotment has started a new project, providing mental health support for people aged 16-30.

We are looking for volunteers who can 'muck in' and get involved. Volunteers can:

  • provide informal support to clients and staff for a few hours a week
  • help to support clients on our Outside & Active courses
  • help to manage the site

Sessions are very relaxed; we always have hot drinks and sweet treats and people can do as much or as little as they like. We want people to enjoy being part of a group, getting to know each other and enjoying the many health benefits of gardening.

What skills do I need?

We are happy to take on volunteers from all walks of life.  No skills needed.

In bad weather, please remember to wear hats, scarf, gloves and boots.
