Hi Clare,
We have added you to the list of places in Birmingham
I am one of the volunteers for v inspired and we are currently working on a project ‘Transforming Unloved Community Spaces’
We are looking to turn the roof space of Erdington Fire Station into an Eco garden. We will be approaching it with assembling allotment boxes and various types of plants which the firemen can maintain and keep long term for community benefit. As this is quite a big project we need as much community help as possible!
If you would like to help us by getting involved or by donating or borrowing us any material or tools we would be greatly appreciative!
You can get back to me on carrie_wright@hotmail.co.uk or you can contact my team leader Holly Teal on teamvhollyt@gmail.com
Thank you
Carrie Wright
