Throughout 2025 we’ll be tidying up a food-growing area at Quex Park, turning it into a productive teaching garden where young people and local volunteers can learn and practice communal food growing. The produce grown here will help supply our teaching kitchen.

Thanks to some very hard-working volunteers we’ve already made great progress bringing the space back to productivity. We now offer regular volunteering opportunities there every Wednesday, 10am-3pm (feel free to drop by for an hour or even just to say hi - there’s no expectation if you do come and volunteer).

We hope to create more regular volunteer and learning opportunities, particularly on weekends, as the site develops. We do occasional Saturday sessions - we’ll let you know via the mailing list and/or social media when we plan these.

Register your interest using the form below. We will only take your preferred contact method and a name to refer to you by. We’ll get in touch using email or text message first to confirm.

While we hope to make the space more accessible in future, right now we can only welcome volunteers without existing cardiovascular, neurological or musculoskeletal complaints onto the field for horticultural work. If you’d just like to come by and see what’s going on, have a cup of tea and meet some new people there are no requirements whatsoever (although for the time being the space is not wheelchair-friendly).
