Don't forget, FrOGs (Friends of Grow) will be at Grow on Saturday morning, so come along to make a Mother's Day card and plant some pots... and grab a cuppa and a cake at the same time.

“The training cafe is being used by Grow to develop new skills, as part of the charity's move away from being wholly focused on horticulture.” We are excited to offer a more diverse training experience for more adults with learning disabilities @GuernseyMencap

1/ Two new accessible taxi licences have been issued after two were voluntarily returned last year 🚖

This takes the number of licences back up to eight, which is the current maximum number that can be issued.
