Growing Together Levenshulme is a volunteer-led gardening project aimed at providing a therapeutic environment for asylum seekers, refugees and others in a similar situation. It provides a place to learn about growing food, engage with nature, socialise, exercise, and get involved in the community. The project attracts many regular participants.
The Session Support Facilitator is a role alongside our other volunteer roles (Activity Facilitator and People Support), with the aim to support the smooth running of the session by providing general floating support to the People Support team and Activities team at the project and as a member of the wider caretakers team, to contribute to the general running of the project.
Our sessions currently run on:
Tuesdays 09:30 – 12:30 and 12:30 - 15:00
Fridays 09:00 – 12:00
We generally expect volunteers to commit to at least one session per week on a regular basis but obviously people are welcome to have breaks, take time off and sign up whenever suits them.
We have monthly ‘Caretakers’ meetings outside of these sessions on Zoom.
