Cabbage Hall CIC is a community allotment/garden which was formed in January 2020 in response to our vision to provide high quality, value for money services to a variety of
groups and the general public. Assisting the community with socialising with like-minded people, supplying outdoor learning spaces for groups with learning disabilities, people
recovering from substance misuse, young person’s rehabilitation and children within the community. Participants overall health improves whilst doing something worthwhile and
productive which in turn lessens anxiety and depressive episodes, motivating them to have a purpose and feel useful and reintegrate back into society. Activities at the
community allotment fits in with the five ways to wellbeing –Connect, Be active, Take Notice, keep learning and Give back. An understanding of well-being encourages them
to become more resilient in general, through active participation in the activities we have on offer. This includes craft making. Up cycling and bench making and hanging baskets. We invite
partners in to do talks and workshops/ training around further development with a view to employment, training and volunteering. We also work with local schoolchildren to offer
the opportunity to learn new skills in growing vegetables. We find that being involved in the outdoor allotment environment; individuals learn new skills around growing and
caring for produce and then offered to the local community. Individuals include young people and their families who have the opportunity to connect with others and feel less
isolated and make new friends and their wellbeing is greatly improved. Children can learn through play and benefit from being in the outdoors with hands on experience of
growing food from seed to harvest watching them grow. A time for bonding outdoors.
