The Wales Green List celebrates individuals making Wales a better and more sustainable place to live. It’s the first list of its kind in Wales, bringing together the different elements of sustainable development - environmental, economic and social - in one award.
We have had a number of placements this year from local schools and colleges and currently have 2 young people volunteering at the allotments, one working towards his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and the other volunteering because he wants to give something back to his community. We also have many other volunteers whose contributions ensure the projects success.
