Developing Roots, Asylum Link Merseyside
‘Developing Roots’ is a partnership project between Faiths4Change, Asylum Link Merseyside, Merseyside Refugee Support Network, Support for Asylum Seekers, and the Allen Lane Foundation.
The aim of the project is to develop and regularly maintain 2 allotments, owned by Asylum Link, with people seeking asylum and refuge, utilising seasonal food and cooking as tools to provide greater personal wellbeing. In addition, the project intends to provide participants with social engagement and relationships with the wider asylum and settled community and a deeper connection with the local, natural environment.
