Want to learn to grow your own food without chemicals?
Sprout are once again teaming up with Nottingham Organic Gardeners to provide young people (aged 16-25) the chance to learn how to grow their own food – by learning hands-on in the company of experienced gardeners.
We will be joining them to offer a FREE programme of fortnightly sessions on their demonstration allotment at Whitemoor from 10am -1pm on the following Saturdays:
6th Feb, 20th Feb
6th March, 20th March
3rd April, 17th April
All of the sessions will be followed by a free meal using allotment produce.
The sessions are very relaxed and friendly, suitable for all young people whatever your level of experience.
For further details of the activities planned for each of the Saturdays, or to book a place on any of the sessions, please get in touch.
Contact Rachel or Jabran on 0115 9708200 / e-mail: sproutnottingham@gmail.com

Six new projects have been set up by young people this month, which are:
- Cut Down Your Electrical Energy: The project will involve how much electricity is consumed at home by people and carrying out awareness raising workshops on how to reduce electricity consumption and the effect on the environment and climate change.
- EnviroMural: To produce a mural on a wall in the local community to highlight the local environmental message such as recycling, re-use and save our planet.
- Save Your Globe and Home: To organise a exhibition and workshops about environmental issues. This project will make people aware of local and global environmental issues.
- Share Your Transport: To carry out research on how people travel for work, for leisure and if they car share. There will be a blog developed and workshops on raising awareness of car share, cycling, walking and public transport etc.
- Making Your Community and Home Greener: This project will look at how to save energy by doing energy audits for the local community. To carry out workshops for young people and the local community for them to become aware of how to become more energy efficient.
- Ace Recycling: The project will involve organising workshops and an event to make people from the ethnic community and young people more aware of how and what can be recycled in the City of Nottingham and local neighbourhood.
For further information for the above projects please contact Jabran Ahmad on 0115 –9708200 or email: jabran@partnershipcouncil.co.uk

We hope the Seasonal break treated you well. Didn’t it come and go fast? It certainly did for us!
With the New Year upon us, we figured that it’s a good time (well as good-a-time as any!) to remind you of what Sprout has to offer.
We currently have a fair few projects receiving ongoing support from Sprout, however there is still money available in the pot of ‘Sprout funds’ for environmental projects, so if you have an idea, please get in touch! As part of our support package WE OFFER UP TO £500 TOWARDS ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS!!
Remember, environmental projects don’t have to be long, drawn-out, mountain tasks. However small your idea; we’d like to hear about it.
What’s more, Sprout also organise events throughout the year to give people a taste of environmental volunteering. We will be updating this site soon with details of events we are planning in the upcoming months so watch this space!
Also, if you’ve got an idea for an event you’d like us to try and organise, please let us know. We’d love to hear your ideas!!!
Finally, we wish you all a fantastic 2010 – Let’s hope it’s a good year for you all!
