GRANT AWARDED - HEADWAY LANCASTER
The 3R Foundation has awarded £1000 to Headway Lancaster which has been used to purchase materials to make raised planting beds and water irrigation systems.
Headway are a voluntary community group who offer support and a social network to brain injury survivors, their families and carers who are frequently faced with loneliness and isolation following hospital discharge.

At their Dorrington Road Allotment Project in Lancaster, Growing with Headway, is where their members can meet and contribute to growing fruit, veg and flowers. Learn about healthy eating, develop new friendships and build on their confidence and self esteem. The allotment contributes to the core of their wellbeing work. As well as all the materials for the raised beds the funds were used for two watering systems which will ensure that what they grow in their polytunnel will be watered regularly and not have to rely on a handful of volunteers, especially during heat wave periods.
