Drylaw Telford Community Association, offers a range of services (fitness classes, after school clubs, cultural sessions, youth and senior groups and gardening projec), across all ages, to help combat loneliness, build community cohesion, encourage community engagement and build the resilience of vulnerable groups of people from our young parents, long-term unemployed, children and young people to our elderly residents. They are seeking support for their Urban Community Food Growing Project - this project helps to educate 50 trainees, of all ages, to learn about community growing. Gardening is a great form of exercise, has a positive effect on the environment and “going green” can truly benefit the planet. Plants are highly effective air cleaners, absorbing carbon dioxide, plus many air pollutants, while releasing clean oxygen and fragrance. Supporting trainees to establish micro-gardens allows low-income families to meet their needs for vitamins, minerals and plant protein by providing direct access to fresh, nutritious vegetables every day. They also offer a source of extra income from the sale of small surpluses. Gardening offers a variety of health benefits such as Exposure to vitamin D, decreased dementia risk, mood-boosting benefits, enjoyable aerobic exercise and helps to combat loneliness.
