Co-op Local Community Fund
Thank you to everyone who chose The Power House for the Co-op Local Community Fund. An amazing £1,713.81 was raised and will go towards our Arts Wellbeing, Youth Project, and Hamworthy Growing Together community food growing projects.
Last year, saw us start to bring forward “Cornerstone Patch”, a community food growing space at Cornerstone Academy. Green Therapy is naturally good for wellbeing, and growing together even more so. “Cornerstone Patch” is giving us an opportunity to engage Youth Project Members and other Cornerstone students in gardening, and connecting with other community members and organisations.
Our growing project will improve people's wellbeing, while supplying those on low incomes with fresh food.
The money raised is helping set up nine raised beds on top of the old, filled swimming pool. Check out our News for progress.
Thank you so much!
