There wasn't much to do at the community allotment today, so we turned it into a litter-picking task instead. Matthew, Scarlett and Sheila armed themselves with litter-pickers and set off through the park and down to the A4. We kept to the main thoroughfares and after an hour, our bags were getting pretty full. We were dismayed by the number of disposable vape capsules and boxes we found. After the obligatory selfie, we found a convenient bin in which to deposit the rubbish where it belongs.
The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
