Grow Wild Volunteers will help with growing food for the community. The food we grow is shared between our volunteers, beneficiaries (young adults with additional needs) and the local food bank.

We are all committed to providing safe and supportive environments for everyone involved– a place where people want to work, individuals want to engage, and organisations want to do work with us to give young people the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential.
