What a scorcher for our first visit to Fox Den Community Allotment! 🦊
We were met by the brilliant Lorna, who showed us round the beautiful space and shared the history of the allotment - once home to a family of foxes. Lorna and volunteers from Abbey People have transformed the area to grow a huge variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs for the local community and Abbey Food Hub.
It was brilliant to welcome Philip for his first GoodGym mission. 💪
We set to work building frames for the broccoli, thinning the bumper crop of tomatoes, and giving everything a much needed water. Never missing an opportunity, carrying the double watering cans worked well for some weighted squats. We had the added bonus of meeting some chickens and were able to harvest some produce to take home - Phil becoming Fox Den's fist broccoli man. 🥦
The allotment is a calm haven in the city and we can't wait to visit again!

Looking after the community allotment helping with maintenance activities and growing food for the local community
We support those most at-risk through targeted community projects, provision of general anti-poverty support such as community food provision, supporting access to education and employment, projects to improve the environment, and by developing a culture of volunteering in the community. The Fox Den Allotment is one of our greenspaces we manage with the local community.
