Welcome

Welcome to the 'Digging for Health' blog, a record of the development of a social enterprise project supported by Engage UnLtd and Age Concern, Dorchester, UK. We have been allocated a community allotment (thanks to the Volunteer Centre, Dorset), which is very overgrown and run down. This blog will provide a history of the development of the allotment, as we return it to a fully functioning and productive resource that aims to not only produce vegetables but also raise social capital (what's social capital?...read the blog!). This blog belongs to Fran Biley. This views expressed here are his, and he takes full responsibility for them. They may not represent the views of the organisations that are mentioned here.
