Home grown fruit and veg.
We have been eating our own home grown produce. Our two poly tunnels are fully functional. Our residents were recently given 
horticultural training on the use of ‘blue nose’ worms. We have purchased a box full of these worms – their casts are used as fertiliser.
Do they have blue noses? Google it to find out!
Seeds wanted! - donations of packets of fruit & vegetable seeds would be much appreciated.
‘Hope’ for 2011
Our theme for 2011 is ‘Hope’.
We believe there is ‘hope’ for each and everybody through the love and power of Jesus Christ!
New project
New roof for our chapel needed.
Our ceiling in the chapel/classroom needs replacing. Over the years we have made many repairs to the roof but the time has come to replace the whole structure.
If you can help in any practical or financial way then please do contact us.
