Our Story

Grow Together Bucks is a Community Interest Company (CIC). In other words, we are a ‘not for profit’ organisation. We were founded in 2020 to benefit local residents in South Bucks and surrounding areas.

We aim to support residents from all backgrounds, but specifically those who would benefit the most. Back in spring 2020, we inherited an overgrown allotment at Back Lane, in High Wycombe. With the help of our community gardeners, we transformed the plot into a 300m2 growing space with a greenhouse, compost and potting area and patio near the river edge.

​

​Our organisational objectives are:

• To enhance the lives of individuals

• Engage with local businesses, schools and orgainsations

• Improve biodiversity 

• Protect the environment. 

​

We achieve these by:

• Facilitating community volunteering and collaboration at our community allotment

• Raising awareness about sourcing good food and its impact on our health & wellbeing

• Partnering with other local organisations who complement our aims/objectives

• Supporting community growers to develop their knowledge to grow and harvest fresh produce

• Involving community gardeners in the design, planning, harvesting, storing and cooking of produce

• Promoting the reduction of food waste and surplus donations to local support organisations

• Providing practical growing programmes for local education settings. Teaching pupils the importance of soil, the seasons, biodiversity and compost ecology.

• Working with companies to meet their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments
