It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I was posting our call for apprentices last year. And here I am doing this seasonal task again, letting you know of the opportunities at Growing Communities. But, this year is a little different to the last few years. In fact, it’s gearing up to be a whole lot different…
Rather excitingly, we’ve secured a piece of funding from the Local Food Fund, so we’re able to double the number of apprenticeships that we can offer! And, like other apprentices before them, at the end of the coming growing season we’ll be offering successful applicants a piece of land on which they can use all the knowledge they amass to set up their own market garden.
It’s all part of our Patchwork Farm Project which will see more food than ever grown right here in Hackney. And just so it all runs smoothly, we’re also recruiting a Patchwork Farm Coordinator. All the details and job packs are here, so get your application in, chop chop!
