Community Use – Make a Proposal!

OrganicLea’s Vision for Wolves Lane:

An initiative that grows and distributes sustainably produced food to local residents and businesses; engages a wide range of people in learning and skills activities, and health and well-being benefits; establishes itself as a centre for promoting healthy eating; and offers space for community groups and social enterprises to run activities that benefit the community.

Please write with your ideas, suggestion, proposals for the future!

Would you like to organise and lead a community activity at Wolves Lane?
The community activities below have already been proposed – which ones interest you?

Proposed Activities

Outdoor Gardening Club to encourage outdoor growing, including foraging and exploration of heritage vegetables
Kitchen Gardeners – indoor gardening club to encourage balcony and kitchen gardens
Ideas and Innovation Day: “How to Upcycle and Recycle”- a day for people to put forward their ideas, exchange and barter.
Play area – indoor or outdoor. After trying to get small children to walk around the venue, it would be good to have an area where they can let off a bit of steam. The good thing about indoor play areas is that you can make a small charge for them, ie at the Wyevale Garden Centre in Enfield (I appreciate this is a chain).
Worksheets of things to spot at the garden centre (i.e. five animals, five red things for younger children; an arachnid, an evergreen for older children)
Cafe with great coffee and healthy recipes
Homework clubs
Toy exchange
Book exchange
Book Club
Writers Circle
Wildlife exploration
Bird Watching Club
Fish Club
“I remember Haringey” – a collective memoir writing group to document residents’ memories in Haringey

Family Learning education programme
volunteering programme, aimed at people with learning disabilities, to provide them with gardening opportunities and education to create their own successful garden spaces or enjoy working with others
