Our volunteers and members regularly attend other events promoting the Community Garden and we would like to provide warm fleeces/ waterproof jackets with our logo. Also advertising material to help promote the amazing work our volunteers do.
We have two bee hives which are now producing honey. Two of our trustees self fundeed a bee keeping course and bought their own suits. We would like to purchase two additional suits to allow members of the community who would like to learn about bee keeping and see first hand what happens within the hive.
We would like to trial soup packs made up with the produce from the garden . These would include everything to take home to make soup including a recipe. Two of our volunteers recently attended a beginners cooking class at a Radio City initiative and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, gaining so much confidence in preparing and cooking simple wholesome meals.
Fleeces/ jackets £470, Bee Suits £110, Advertising banners and leaflets £200, Soup packs £150, various gardening gloves £70

Throughout the year we hold fundraising events such as Bingo nights and the Halloween Disco to help raise money to put towards our christmas lights switch on, Our current lights are currently outdated and are costing more and more to repair every year, we do try to replace as many lights as we can each year but taking into account the current finiancial situation within out community we try to provide as many free activities as we can on the night so that all families can attend and enjoy. Also we like to provide the kids with a little christmas light so they can take part in our torch and tinsel parade where they can join santa in a walk upto the town where the lights get switched on. Some of the activities we provide are Balloon Modelling, Face Painting, Mini Zoo, Santas Grotto, Alpacas, and a Fun Fair.

Over the years since we began the garden we receive an annual inspection by the Royal Horticultural Society on behalf of Keep Scotland Beautiful.
For the last 3 years, we have had the top grade with a certificate of distinction, this by independent assessors.
Our need is to replace planters and also top soil/compost and to re-furbish the book swap cabinet doors.
The top Gazebo has been set on fire several times and we wish to make good the damage.
Also several benches have been damaged and we would like to replace 2 of these.
- Wood for 4 planters £320
- Material for 2 benches £250
- Material for book swap doors £ 60
- Wood for top Gazebo £150
- Compost and plants £350
- Total £1130
