In The Beginning

Five Acres Community Gardens CIC was set up by Debbie and Gavin Iceton, it opened in May 2019, after many months of planning.

Debbie and Gavin had noticed, during the course of their transport business, that services had been greatly reduced.  They wanted to offer a unique service where young adults could develop their social, independent living and employability skills.

Their original idea was to create an agricultural and horticultural centre on a five acres field they owned.

They believed this would give the young adults a different way of learning skills.
