    Environmental & Management Solutions is a registered charity which works with local residents, community groups and businesses to alleviate food and fuel poverty on the north and south bank of the Humber in Yorkshire.


    We currently run 4 successful community allotment sites in Hull and are exploring the possibility of developing more sites around the region as part of our Community Allotment project.


    Following the model of our current community allotment sites, this project would aim to turn unused pieces of land into small-scale, secure allotment sites which would then be offered to residents within walking distance of the site, rent-free. We would offer practical support and advice to help new growers get started, and would facilitate group meetings to give residents the opportunity to grow their own produce, enjoy a healthy lifestyle and work together with other growers to make their site a valuable resource within their community.


    We would be very grateful if you could share your opinions and suggestions on this project by completing the following short survey (should take approx 2-3mins). Many thanks :-)
