Friends of Halsnead Allotments & Food Initiative Group

What we do and where we are located?

We are a small group of volunteers based in the Whiston area, located on the Allotments behind Halsneed School. Apart from keeping the allotments clean and tidy, we have organised food initiatives to support local residents as well as clothing recycling schemes.
