New community allotment for Norwich youth

Thanks to EQUANS building a new community allotment in Sprowston, Norwich, local youth will learn how to grow their own food.

In June, Social Value Manager, Julian Sanz, visited Sprowston to help create a brand new community allotment including six large raised planters for local youth group, Sprowston Youth Engagement Partnership (SYEP).

The new garden will be used by SYEP to teach local youth how to grow their own food, and to promote intergenerational socialisation with older allotment members.

Julian will also be hosting a volunteer day in the coming weeks to fill the planter beds with more than 16 tonnes of grade 1 top soil.
