There are many ways you can support our work:
Donate to the Growing Ability Outings and Raised Beds Appeal!
Every six months or so our Growing Ability gardeners like to organise a trip to somewhere special and inspiring, and this year they’d like to go to Jordans Mill. We are also fundraising to buy a couple of raised manger beds which are accessible for people with mobility issues.
- £50 will buy one third of a raised timber manger bed
- £20 will buy a taxi fare from Biggleswade Station to Jordans Mill
- £10 will buy two bags of peat-free compost for a raised bed
- £5 will buy a return rail fare from Hitchin to Biggleswade
- Our target amount is £700 to cover three raised beds, and one trip for all our gardeners. Please donate here – thank you!
