BEF Dig in
BEF help social enterprise
BEF Dig in
BEF along with Barclays get stuck into a real life example of Ground Force turning an urban jungle into a Garden of Eden.
30 members of staff turned up early on a Friday in April to shovel 4 tonnes of wood bark, saw, carry and fit 30 railway sleepers to make 6 raised beds for growing vegetables and fruit in the gardens of some local resident
But these gardens were no ordinary gardens. These gardens belonged to a local social enterprise who support and help refugees. Palm Cove, based in Bowling, Bradford have been helping and supporting refugees for a number of years now and have grown their business significantly to become one of the largest providers of sheltered accomodation for refugees in the region.
Barclays and BEF joined forces to make this happen and turn a derelict garden that was overgrown and full of rubbish into something the residents can use to grow their own fruit and vegetables.
