Thank you! Project creating an inclusive community space is showered with support

Local News by Lottie Welch 21st May 2021  

A project bringing a wheelchair-friendly community garden and allotment has received a lot of support.

The Cowshed at Plot 17 is a partnership between Bridport Medical centre and Bridport Health and Care Champions and will be a place behind the surgery where patients and the community can visit and take home salads, vegetables and flowers.

It has received overwhelming support from the community and the group would like to thank:

  • Eilish and the Ammonite Medical Centre team for their inspiring idea
  • Bridport Town Council for clearance can essential groundworks that ensures safe use by people with mobility difficulties
  • Michael, Gary, Mike, Keith and Kevin for digging and rotovating
  • Stepping into Nature for a grant
  • Bridport Rotary Club for a tool shed
  • Scott, Ruth, the Chrises and other good allotment neighbours
  • Dave and Sarah Smith for making a workstation table
  • Sue and Helen for being trustees to the health champions
  • Sue, Sharon, Kath, Nick for planning the original site and starting the project with valued input from Bridport Town Council's Daryl and David
  • Neil Barnes for the distinctive Cowshed logo
  • Adrian and Jim for the supportive chats over the fence
  • John Bright Fencing for the new gate and fence
  • Peter for vegetable poetry
  • Kate and Pauline, the Social Prescribers
  • Sally, Julie, Vicky, Denise, Mandy, Caroline and Kate for pots, plants and seeds
  • Gill for the pretty chalet, which will get to the allotment soon
  • Siobhan, Leeann, Jen, Carl, Jem and Michelle for networking and sharing
  • Alison, Fran, Jennie and Eilish's mum for tools - shiny and new or preloved
  • The anonymous person who donated a large cheque
  • Sarah for a garden scheme voucher
  • Kommit Kompost for top soil
  • The community of Bridport who have contributed to the cash collection that is ongoing at the medical centre

A spokesman for The Cowshed said: "The Cowshed aims to offer social and wellbeing support and we are so grateful to Hedway Fencing and Groundworks which has gifted their labour for free.

"They are working with Bridport Building Supplies which is giving timber so that we can have a field shelter so that we can share that all essential cuppa."
