We're hiring a Volunteering Development Coordinator. This is an exciting opportunity for a natural collaborator to strengthen, connect & grow our brilliant community of volunteers.

Introducing our new project partner - NKS. Over the course of this year, thanks to funding from the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership, we have been developing our work with local organisations who share our aims and values.

The current pandemic has put pressure on charities large and small. We're especially grateful to The Bank of Scotland Foundation for supporting our work with a new grant, helping us to ensure we can continue to connect garden partners across Edinburgh and build the shared gardening movement.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our newly designed website. We wanted to create a new website that allows for more dynamic content, that is visually engaging, easier to navigate, and more user-friendly.

The current pandemic has meant we've had to limit close contact between our volunteers and garden owners. However, relationships are at the heart of our model, and our volunteers continue to support their garden partners through regular phone calls, a wave through the window, and leaving essential groceries or fresh veg from the garden on the doorstep.

We're absolutely delighted to have received a 3 year funding award from the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership.

We are absolutely thrilled to have received a 3 year funding award from the National Lottery Community Fund for our work on befriending through gardening! We will be using funding to support, and create more partnerships, reducing social isolation and improving wellbeing in the community.
