Brierfield Children’s Allotment, Pendle

This project is now complete – thank you to everyone for the support!

The Brierfield Children’s Allotment was indicated as a priority project for Pendle Council under the Central Gateway Funding in 2012. Proffitts worked alongside The Family Tree Centre and Walton Lane Children’s Centre (Brierfield) to get the Children’s Allotment back up and running as it had fallen into disrepair. We worked very hard to organise volunteer days each week to ensure that there was always someone on site to clear beds, carry out minor repairs, paint, mend sheds etc.  Further funding meant that we were able to employ Pendle Environmental Action Group (EAG team) to strim the grass, carry out minor repairs to fencing and fit a new base for the greenhouse.  The GPA funding also bought materials for an open day and a series of summer activities were held in the summer holidays last year.
