Who this task will support
Southall Transition
Southall Transition works to build community resilience and improve the environment. Activities include running community gardens, planting orchards, publicly accessible raised beds. and screening documentaries.

The Bixley Field Allotments in Southall provide space for the community to grow food locally, and enjoy a little bit of wilderness and the sights of the nearby Grand Union Canal. Southall Transition manages a couple of plots there and needs help with preparing them for planting.

You can run or walk along the picturesque and quiet canal route to reach the allotments.

The allotments are also accessible from the Southall Station (15 minutes walk).

At the end of the session in summer, volunteers are often offered fresh produce from the allotment.

We will use the entrance from the canal. If you can see the "Bixley Fields" and "Bixley Triangle" signs (see the photos), you are in the right place.
