Sow the City have experience of working with disengaged
residents including those who are long term unemployed,
socially isolated or who may be living in socially and
economically deprived neighbourhoods. We run one off
workshops and events within local community areas and
engage in strategic work to improve community health and
wellbeing.
•
Our projects encourage community members to
take collective action, to grow food together and
to improve the quality of life in their local area.
•
Accredited food growing, practical and cookery
workshops help residents to save money, eat
more healthily and encourage them to make
positive environmental changes.
•
Food growing and environmental projects develop
skills, provide volunteering opportunities and boost
employment.
•
Sow the City can provide consultancy and research
identifying food growing sites, conducting feasibility
studies or assisting with food policy work.
•
We can submit joint funding applications to help
access voluntary sector funding that isn’t available
to local authorities.
•
We can help to organise events and promotional
activities which reach larger numbers of community
members.
Councillor Joanna Midgley

wellbeing are plain to see and I
have heard a lot of very positive
feedback about their work
