Nottingham Homelessness charity Emmanuel House Support Centre has received over £22,000 to help develop green activities including their popular allotment project based in St.Ann's. The centre which is based in Hockley enables homeless and vulnerable people to take part in gardening sessions.
Despite issues arising from Covid, the house has had an incredibly busy year with 488 individual beneficiaries visiting the Support Centre 2892 times. The team also served 1383 meals, 493 items of clothing and provided 382 hot showers to those in need.
The new funding will allow the gardening project to keep running and has been provided by Severn Trent Community Fund, The Nineveh Charitable Trust, The GreenSpace Green Grant, The B&Q Foundation and The Country Land and Business Association.
