Success Story

"The Worshipful the Mayor of Slough, Cllr Jagjit Grewal, presented horticulture certificates to a group of users from Slough Homeless Our Concern (SHOC) on Wednesday, September 29. The group of seven people have been busy preparing an allotment plot and growing their own produce, with the support of their tutors from adult lifelong learning. The delicious vegetables have been a big hit at SHOCs base at Serena Hall in Burlington Avenue when they were served up for lunch. The project has seen the residents produce a portfolio of work that has led to five gaining a certificate in horticultural production."
