A Walker based charity is raising funds to convert a double decker bus into a community greenhouse. Building Futures East has had the old Stagecoach bus on its premises for eight years, and the charity is now looking to transform it into a place where it can grow fresh produce for local residents.
The plan is for volunteers to plant, grow, harvest and distribute the produce, whilst interacting with each other in a vibrant environment, that will be a mix of indoor and outdoor.
With the current Cost of Living crisis, residents of Walker are struggling to afford fresh, healthy food, and this project will allow people to maintain a nutritious diet, while also helping their own mental health by being sociable and growing connections with members of the community.
