Kids Gardening Workshop - Secondary

This Easter we are delighted to be hosting a Kids Gardening Workshop specificially for secondary school children aged 11-16 in Altrincham. The workshop is part of Altrincham BID's plan to raise awareness of the lesser known Altrincham Heritage Carrot in 2026 - which gives you an idea about what we might be planting...

Join us at our Community Kitchen with your kids & take part in a hands-on planting, seed sowing & sustainability workshop! We'll be planting seeds to help inspire the next generation of gardeners...

Fun and family friendly!

This Easter Holiday Kids Gardening workshop has been deisgned specifically for secondary school children aged 11-16. If you sign up your child/children, you will need to remain at our Community Kitchen for the duration of the workshop and supervise them at all times. Our Community Kitchen will be open as normal with a full range of hot & cold drinks, sweet treats and delicious brunch/lunch options for you to enjoy before, during and after the workshop.

The workshops are kindly being funded by Altrincham BID who produce Visit Altrincham (https://visitaltrincham.com). There is a small charge for these subsidised workshops to help cover the costs on the day & associated event management.

Who are we?

Bounceback Food CIC is a social enterprise fighting food poverty on multiple fronts. Our Community Cookery School teams teach people how to cook, run food bank drives at market events, help people get jobs in the food sector and coordinate community meal drives that provide emergency meals for our beneficiaries.

Since 2014 we have taught 10,000+ people how to cook, including stroke survivors, young carers, food bank beneficiaries and elderly people living in sheltered accommodation. We have also secured 25,000+ donations to food banks and generated over 350,000 meals for people in need via our catering, community meal drives and cookery workshops.

Our Community Kitchen on Central Way in Altrincham opened on July 1st 2023. The 'buy one, give one' menu supports our meal distribution efforts to 15 food banks and sheltered accommodation sites across Manchester.
