We would like to thank local guttering and roofing company, Gutterworks, for generously donating and delivering recycled wooden pallets and tiles to the our Gateway Community Allotment.
The award-winning project based in New Pond Road, helps vulnerable young people, families and adults improve their skills, mental health, and wellbeing by harnessing the power of the natural environment. Working alongside trained co-ordinators and volunteers, the Allotment runs weekly sessions which include gardening, woodcraft, cooking and therapeutic arts and crafts activities.
Milly O’Ryan, Nurture through Nature Assistant Manager, Gateway Community Garden said:
Gateway is a wonderful space that fosters a sense of togetherness, growth, and sustainability. With the supply of these much-needed resources, we can prepare new raised beds, compost bins, art projects and bug hotels for everyone to enjoy, including our wildlife! Such support from businesses and organisations makes such a tremendous difference, breathing new life into our community project. We are so grateful to Gerry and his team at Gutterworks Limited and look forward to working together again this year!
Director, Gerry Hever, Operations and Finance Director, Gutterworks Limited said:
Recycling our pallets and tiles means we can collectively make a substantial positive impact on the environment. It is a simple yet powerful way to reduce our ecological footprint and supports Surrey Care Trust and its amazing work down at the Gateway Allotment!
