Partington Grow Club

Partington Grow Club is an opportunity for all Trafford residents to improve their health and mental health by getting outdoors, learning to grow food together and helping to maintain green spaces. 

Community allotments

The team work alongside BlueSci and People's Church on maintaining 2 separate community growing spaces, the first - Potters allotment behind St Mary's Church, and most recently a brand new purpose-built site behind People's Church on Chapel Lane.

Growing courses

Local residents in Partington and those across Trafford who suffer with poor health or mental health are invited to come and give it a try! There are winter growing courses running each week, lasting for 6 weeks. No experience is necessary, and it's a lovely chance to meet new people, learn to grow your own food at home and benefit from the great outdoors!

Grow Club Volunteer

As well as developing a brand new community growing space behind People's Church, there's a lot of garden maintenance to do on and around both allotments, as well as across our wider community. The team help struggling locals with their green spaces, and even engage the schools! If you have a few hours to help garden, build or even simply brew up, the team would love for you to join the club. Welcome to all - no experience necessary.

Gardening support

Our team are there to support residents with their gardens and green spaces. They can do basic garden maintenance, larger clearances, and basic labour around the garden. The charge is:

£10 per person for 30 minutes

Additional charge if clearing waste is required

If Hope Centre members are unable to afford the charge but need help, a subsidised rate of 50% discount may apply. Contact the Hope Pantry to request this additional help.

Volunteering days

We're often approached by both the housing association asking for help and businesses offering volunteering days. At least one day each month we aim to bring all of these together with a big garden clearance day to help residents who are vulnerable or struggling and at risk of losing their home. If you can offer  a day either as part of your work place volunteer programme, or on a regular basis simply to be helpful, we would love to hear from you.
