A New Era Begins at Wharfside Park: Our New Community Hub



A New Era Begins at Wharfside Park Allotments: Welcoming Our Shipping Container


A New Community Hub and Secure Storage


We are thrilled to announce a significant addition to the Wharfside Park Allotment site: our brand-new shipping container! This arrival marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our community, offering invaluable indoor space and secure storage for our equipment. This development would not have been possible without the generous support of our partners, and we are deeply grateful for their contributions.


A Generous Donation from Eldapoint


First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Eldapoint for their incredibly kind donation. Their support has been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. The shipping container will serve multiple purposes, providing a sheltered space for community gatherings, workshops, and activities, as well as a secure location to store our tools and equipment. This dual functionality will enhance the overall experience for all members of our allotment community.


Smooth Delivery and Placement by David Watson Transport


We also want to acknowledge the exceptional work of DW Transport, who ensured the safe delivery and precise placement of the container on our site. Transporting and positioning a shipping container is no small feat, and their expertise and professionalism made the process smooth and efficient. Thanks to DW Transport, the container is perfectly situated and ready for use.


Enhancing Community Engagement and Security


The addition of the shipping container brings numerous benefits to Wharfside Park Allotments:


Indoor Space for Activities: Regardless of the weather, we now have a dedicated indoor area where we can host educational workshops, community meetings, and social events. This new space will foster greater engagement and interaction among our members.

Secure Storage: With the container, we have a reliable and secure place to store our valuable gardening tools and equipment. This added security will help protect our resources and ensure they are readily available when needed.


Expanded Opportunities: The versatile nature of the shipping container opens up a world of possibilities. From seed swapping events to craft sessions, the container will be a hub of activity and creativity for our community.


Next Steps: Painting and Fitting Out the Interior


Now that our container is on site, the next phase of our project begins. We need to repaint the exterior to ensure it blends seamlessly with our beautiful allotment surroundings. Additionally, we will be fitting out the interior to make it as functional and welcoming as possible. This will involve installing shelves, workbenches, seating, and other necessary features to transform the container into a fully equipped indoor space.


We invite all members of the Wharfside Park Allotment community to get involved in these upcoming projects. Whether you have painting skills, carpentry expertise, or just a willingness to help out, your contribution will be greatly appreciated.


Looking Ahead


As we look forward to the many ways this new addition will benefit our community, we are filled with gratitude and excitement. The shipping container is more than just a structure; it is a symbol of growth, collaboration, and the vibrant spirit of Wharfside Park Allotment.


We encourage all our members to take advantage of this new resource and participate in the activities and events that will be hosted in the container. Together, we will continue to cultivate a thriving, inclusive, and supportive community.


Once again, thank you to Eldapoint for their generous donation and to DW Transport for their outstanding service. Here’s to many wonderful moments and memories to come in our new indoor space!
