Bush Farm and Roe Green Walled Garden among groups to win NCIL funding

 

The barn at Bush Farm, badly in need of attention

My Aunt Muriel haymaking at Bush Farm 80 years ago,  Summer 1942

I was pleased to hear that both Barn Hill Conservation Group and the Bush Farm Collective whose Neighbourhood CIL bids were featured on Wembley Matters LINK LINK, succeeded in winning funding.

The Conservation Group will use the funding for infrastructure work at the Victorian Roe Green Walled Garden, including repairs to the barn that visitors will remember as housing an amazing selection of, well I am not too sure what to call them - bric-a-brac, curios, collectors' items?  Always fascinating.  

The Bush Farm Collective will also be using some of the money for restoration work  on its barn (see above) and fencing.  There are plans for a community garden, toilets and outdoor learning facilities. The Collective now has a farming licence and hope to have a small number of animals on site including sheep.

Bush Farm Collective calls for support for its 'You Decide' bid to broaden activities

 

The Bush Farm Collective, based at Bush Farm, Kingsbury in Fryent Country Park, are seeking support for their community funding bid to improve the facility.

This is their message:

 

Lets make Bush Farm come to life

Bushfarm has held a number of amazing community events so far, now it is looking to broaden its range of activities in a number of ways from eco and agricultural workshops, music and art. Making these accessible to all, including many who usually would not be able to have these opportunities.

 
 

However, it needs your help to make this possible...

Bush Farm has made an application for funding to go towards a year of educational programs, vegetable garden, outdoor learning facilities and dog safe area including an agility course.


Bushfarm needs Brent residents to vote for it in the current funding round, in order to provide these activities for the community.

 

To vote, simply register first using this LINK. This will give you the time and dates available for you to come and vote. 

 

 The vote is just for the Kingsbury and Kenton Brent Connects area and takes place on Saturday June 25th - Neighbourhood CIL bids are from 1pm to 3.30pm.


Note this is the Kingsbury and Kenton Brent Connects Area so it includes Barn Hill and Chalkhill.
