Asteroid   10 #1 Posted March 28, 2014 Hi I found a volunteering placement after posting on SF for voluntary work at tradebase allotment in the S5 area. We are a gardening project and I been there a month now and it's fun. I been planting seeds, a little weeding and a little bit of digging. At the moment we're erecting a poly tunnel up so we can grow strawberries and I have already taken some broccoli and lettuce ( we share what we grow ) home with me with what has been grown there. I am also in the next two weeks going on a overnight gardening course in Chester with tradebase learning how to plant seeds as I am a beginner. I am posting this because we're always in need of extra volunteers. The focal point of tradebase is that we cater for adults with learning difficulties so if anyone reading this wants to volunteer or if you or anyone in your family has a learning difficulty and just wants to get some fresh air then come and join us. We run on a Monday and Thursday from 9.30 till about 1pm and on a Saturday from 10am. We have hot/cold drinks inbetween and homemade soup and bread at the end of each session. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful so if your interested in volunteering or just want to get out of the house a few times a week then drop a comment below and I will respond back to you with more details on exactly where we are based. Thank you ..  Tradebaseallotment.btck.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
