We are delighted to have been awarded funding from the University of Edinburgh Community Grants programme for our project ‘Our Gracemount’, working with the Department of Social Responsibility and Sustainability @EdinUniLocal and the local community to promote new volunteering opportunities, and to develop the Mansion, stable block, community garden and local greenspace. For more information follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
Thanks to the Scottish Government Wellbeing Fund (#wellbeingfund), we ran Survival School sessions in the summer of 2020, offering fun and learning in Gracemount Community Garden. This programme was for children attending Gracemount Primary School and their families. Activities focused on learning how food is grown, on the variety of plants and animals (bio-diversity), on garden skills like composting, and on using the garden to exercise and relax.
