Company activities and impact

In its first year since GoGrowWithLove C.I.C was established, the organisation has been awarded Haringey Best Community Organisation Newcomer of the Year in the Haringey Community Impact Awards, with its ethos of “Sowing Seeds and Cultivating Futures”. GGWL shaped its work supporting the community by providing access to food-growing skills development with children and families in primary schools, children’s centers, The new community green space the Love Garden Community, and Moorland Allotment Plots. GGWL provides training in food growing skills to women of African Caribbean heritage as well as in the local multi-cultural community. GGWL provides development skills in nature andecological-related sustainable business enterprises. GGWL designs and facilitates workshops around food growing skills to encourage the community to have a closer relationship to where their food comes from and to have knowledge of the nutritional benefits of locally naturally grown food. GGWL works in supporting the development of community gardens that ultimately contribute towards the local food economy, providing access to increased physical and mental health benefits.GGWL has been creative in providing wider community access to food-growing training by delivering online training, using technology in an innovative manner to provide food and land skills training. GGWL has increased partnerships with the local housing trust to improve places and spaces that matter to local communities. One of those spaces was an unused urban space which is now affectionately called “The Love Garden”. The Community Garden was an underused green space which was blighted by anti-social behavior, we mobilised resources working totransform it into a thriving community garden and food growing space. This newly developed community garden has become a social, teaching, and volunteering green space that provides a platform for intergenerational, multicultural communities to practice food growing and plays a positive role in encouraging closer community cohesion and interaction between communities who for many years interacted minimally socially. This increase in social interaction in the LoveGarden space supports reducing social isolation, by giving an opportunity to residents to engage in well-being activities. The development of the Love Garden has made it a source of pride and a focal point in the local community. GGWL provides nature-related workshops, events, andfamily fun days. The local residents regularly express delight seeing the vibrant growing vegetable beds and are very complimentary at the transformation of the space.
