Green Fingers Project

Looked after young people from all over the county will be able to participate in artistic and gardening activities and create a community garden resource at the Top Barn Centre in Holt Heath. The project started in January 2011 and over the next three years the site will develop and grow from the thoughts and ideas of the children involved.

Staff and artists will work together with the young people on long term creative projects that get them outdoors working on artistic, life enriching activities. Young people of all ages will be working together developing new personal learning and thinking skills, and boosting their confidence and self esteem.

"For looked after children to be developing the project with their ideas and their skills, I think it gives them a sense of belonging" Lee Pollard, Green Fingers Mentor
