Growing beyond the shop.
Ability Grows works with local organisations on practical projects that improve shared spaces and give people a genuine role in making them happen.
Out in the community.
Useful work, shared experiences and local connections.
Whether caring for public planters, sharing plants or visiting local suppliers, people take an active part in life beyond the shop.
Community events and local visits offer chances to meet people, practise everyday skills and spend time together.
With support where needed, these activities help people contribute, build confidence and see the difference their work makes.
Holywell Town Centre
Ability Grows service users and volunteers have taken part in planting, watering and maintaining public planters in Holywell.
The work creates practical horticultural activity while contributing visibly to the town centre.
Community Garden & Heritage Restoration.
Ability Grows is leading the Holy Trinity community-hub project from concept to final build, in partnership with Holy Trinity Church. The vision includes a community garden, café, an accessible 17-space car park and restoration of the west window.
A project in development
The wider hub is being developed as smaller, linked projects, each with its own funding bid and delivery arrangements.
How we work.
Practical Activity
Clear tasks such as planting, watering, propagation and maintenance.
Community Benefit
A visible improvement to a place used by local people.
Partnership
Shared aims, clear responsibilities and a realistic route to delivery.
Have a project in mind?
