Our Projects
On Monday’s & Thursday’s we run open to all sessions, available to anyone within our community. Individuals attend on their own or alongside their children or carers to take part in activities on site. Other sessions include:
- Café Cornell “Plot to Plate”
Dig It has hosted 24 participants from Enterprise East Group since summer 2022 until June 2023 with an additional 6 volunteers on Tuesday’s & Friday’s to learn how to plant, tend, harvest and maintain the fruit and vegetable plots across all four seasons. Once the produce is ready, it is brought to the community café where the chefs teach participants how to prepare and cook tasty and nutritious meals, from the fruits of their labours.

- Art @ the Allotment
The sessions enabled creative expression, skill learning, and allowed for socialising over a fun, relaxing activity whilst providing people with an introduction to Dig It.
- MIND Peer Support Sessions
Monday has been an essential day to run services due to the gap that many face being isolated over the weekend, particularly those on low income and facing unemployment, We have visited the drop in and have since seen increased referrals to attend Dig-It on a Monday afternoon. The afternoon session has now linked in with MIND’s peer support service, engaging and sharing their experiences with service users on a 1:1 or group basis to help achieve a set of goals and improve overall wellbeing.
