Pauline Lozoya Hocking, Leader
Old Moat Greenies
Thank you Sow the City for all your
help. We know you've gone above
and beyond your own brief and
put in unbelievable amounts of hours,
skills, thought, and attention.
The Helping Old Moat
Eat (HOME) project
addresses food poverty
within a South
Manchester estate
through community
engagement and
activities promoting
growing your own food
and healthy eating.
Old Moat is one of the most deprived
wards in South Manchester. The Old
Moat Primary School has one of the
highest number of free school meals
in Greater Manchester and due to no
shops in the estate, some people
need to walk over two miles in order
to access any fresh fruit and veg.
The HOME project resulted in some exciting and
positive outcomes for the Old Moat community including:
•
Over 500 people were engaged in discussions about
food poverty and offered basic food advice either through
events, in local homes or in the street.
•
Four local residents were trained to be Food
Champions providing a volunteering opportunity
and skills for employment.
•
Two HOME community events were held with over
100 people attending.
•
A food growing demonstration garden was created
in the middle of the estate for training local residents.
•
27 people were provided with raised beds for
growing food in their own garden.
•
Approximately 30 people completed courses on
how to cook on a budget and were provided with
a food safety course.
•
Over 200 healthy take away meals were sold
over 10 two-hour sessions. These acted to pilot the
potential for such a service in the future.
