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
tackled food poverty
in a South Manchester
estate through community
activities promoting
growing your own food
and healthy eating.
Old Moat is one of the most deprived wards in South
Manchester and Old Moat Primary School has a very high
percentage of children with free school meals. Due to no
local grocery stores, some residents must walk more than
two miles to access fresh fruit and veg.
The HOME project resulted in some exciting and
positive outcomes:
•
Over 500 people engaged in discussions about
food poverty and offered basic food advice.
•
Four local residents were trained to be Food
Champions.
•
Two HOME community events 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.
•
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.
