Open to local residents in Ashford community, please feel free to join us at our monthly Community Clean Up, taking place every second Saturday of each month. It’s an opportunity to join our volunteers at the Holiday Inn and go out for 2 hours, starting at 9.30am to tidy up Ashford. We vary the routes and each time we are always sure to come back with plenty of black bags full of rubbish. It’s a good opportunity to meet like minded people, get outdoors and do a bit for our community.
If you would like to join us, just email us on enquiries@mockfordandhunt.co.uk to let us know when you intend to come along and we will be sure to welcome you!
We are co-hosting the project, Repton Connect Community Centre Kitchen Garden. Working with asylum seekers in Ashford, we have been cultivating our own kitchen garden to be able to harvest and supply local families with food support. Starting with a disused vegetable plot, each week we have been adding to the garden, weeding, planting and nurturing with our volunteers and the garden has taken shape very nicely with plenty of veg already being harvested and benefitting families in the local community.
This has also been a great opportunity for the asylum seekers to help better their mental and physical health by embracing gardening as well as being part of a group. This is a project that we are all really enjoying and we know is looked forward to every week.
With the help of Neighbourly and B & Q, we have also been able to double the size of our kitchen garden making plenty of room to grow even more variety of produce in 2024. Check out our MP4’s that show just how far the garden has come over 2023.
