Growing Community
Enterprises
Growing Community Enterprises is our registered Community Interest Company. This was established for our gardening service, café, woodwork and craft projects. This enables individuals to gain practical work experience and receive payment in return for their hard work. Members of each project collaborate to develop their enterprise, deliver the goods or services, take a share of the profits and decide how to reinvest the remainder.
​
Woodwork Enterprise:
In our woodwork sessions we produce handmade products to sell, with a range of bespoke items made to order.
The members of this enterprise then decide how to reinvest any profits made and then receive a share of the remainder.
Not only does this provide opportunities to learn new skills through positive risk-taking, but also creates a sense of achievement.
Our woodwork products are made sustainably through the use of recycled wood.
Gardening Service:
We offer a gardening service to the local community. This includes mowing lawns, weeding, hedge trimming, planting and general garden maintenance.
​
This enterprise enables us to form positive links with the local community and gardening skills.
