I have recently come into post as the Positive Futures Coordinator for an organisation called Libertus in the South Eastern area of Edinburgh. My role is to establish and support groups of people aged 50+ in this area to take part in activities that they are interested in. I think that one of the areas of interest will be growing vegetables and wondered whether anyone could give me any advice as to how to set up a project for people with green fingers in the area? or whether anyone has any useful contacts? Any words of wisdom would be greatfully received. Thanks, Dan.
Bridgend Allotment Community
Bridgend Allotment Community Health Project would be a useful group to contact. They have several years experience in the same area and have built up a wide range of contacts.
