Adullam Social Enterprise

Read about one of our most recent projects that has been supported by the Citizen Local Fund.

“Food and Wellbeing Garden”

Adullam Social Enterprises (ASE) are extremely excited about developing their “Food and Wellbeing Garden” in the community in the West Midlands following the funding we received from the Citizen Local Fund.

On the 20 December 2023 their National Volunteer Co-ordinator Poonam Bains, inducted their first group of volunteers who signed up to support the development of the project. In January, the staff and volunteers will support the local residents to design their community garden, in order for them to purchase the garden materials they need so that their project is ready for spring .

The residents are very excited about the project and can’t wait to get involved. The project will be teaching and encouraging residents to grow their own fruit and vegetables on their doorstep for them to enjoy, as well as create a wellbeing area in the garden for residents to socialise, relax and enjoy all year round.
