The Communitea Café
Allotment Plot is a space to socialise whilst enjoying the benefits of being
outdoors. It’s a tranquil spot where there is always a smile to be shared and
enthusiasts wanting to share advice and tips. Participants work together
towards a common goal - providing food for the Communitea Café, to be shared by
the local community.
Location Sunnybank Road/Sheffield Road Allotments –The site can be accessed by pedestrians from Sunnybank Road and by car via the Sheffield Road entrance, with our plot being adjacent to the car park. There are toilet facilities on site. The project was launched in 2019.
Our fantastic Lead Volunteer summarised her experience…
“Providing produce for the Communitea Café was very
rewarding and much appreciated. Volunteers taking their fresh produce home and
getting pleasure from cooking it and eating it has been a delight. The pumpkin
carving family event we ran last November with our home-grown pumpkins was
great fun”.
2020 brought its challenges but we used the time to carry out essential maintenance
and improve accessibility.
In 2021 activity has been re-established with a weekly group and gardening activities and a gardening therapy support group for bereaved carers
