Company activities and impact

In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Northern Lily Community Interest Company provides horticultural projects and workshops across Greater Manchester. We took on full management of a formerly derelict site Grass Roots Oldham and been working with several delivery partners to offer a weekly offer of activities including Therapy Goats, Bike Library, Community Gardening, Forest School, and Bee Keeping from the site. We have been working through the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund to transform the orchard into a diverse habitat for nature as well as seating, forest school shelter and native trees and plants. We also delivered several horticulture workshops to teach communities how to grow fruit and vegetables. We won a national award RHS and BBC One Show Growing Together Award for our work at Grass Roots Oldham. During the period August 2023- August 2024 Northern Lily CIC has benefitted the community in the following ways: We have delivered over 200 sessions including horticulture training, nature discovery and family activities. Engaged with 4,300 participants and provided 12,715 Meals worth of fresh fruit and vegetables donated to Oldham residents through community harvests, food preserving/juicing and social meals. We have transformed an acre site to create quality green space available to local people in a densely urban area. We started work on the Kings Coronation Community Orchards with Oldham Council funded via DEFRA to create 4 new orchards in Oldham. We completed the Sky Garden Challenge Project with National Trust, Housing associations and residents engaging with people across Oldham to learn how to grow on balconies and enter the competition. Increasing access to people in urban areas to nature.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are residents, people accessing the activities and projects, Oldham Council, First Choice Homes Oldham, National Trust, RHS, GMCA, GM System Changers, Veg in the Park, Oak Community Development, Community Growing projects, and local councillors. We ask participants to complete evaluations of our activities to help us understand how we could improve our activities and meet the participants needs more effectively. We discovered that people wanted to know more about how to grow their own food and how to get access to growing spaces in small spaces such as windowsills and balconies and in their local areas. We discovered participants health and mental wellbeing benefitted from being outside in nature. This feedback has enabled us to design projects that create more opportunities for people to get access to our site to be in nature, provide more activities for individuals and families to learn how to grow and eat healthily including food preserving.
