Community centre brings new life to its back garden
The community around the Belgrave Neighbourhood Community Housing Association have transformed its garden into a paradise for wildlife and a place of sanctuary for people too.

We hope that going forward this is a space that members of the public and the community know is available to them.
These two inspiring videos show how a disused space behind a community centre was transformed by local people. With the help of residents, volunteers and Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, this patch of land will offer a peaceful spot for years to come.
9 months later, we returned to Belgrave Neighbourhood Coop Housing Association to see how the project had progressed. Watch the video below to see how the community worked with local organisations to create a vegetable garden and an amazing wildlife-friendly pond.
