<p>This season we are looking for <b>two volunteer trainees for our garden</b></p>
<p><i>Herb trainee</i> <i>(Mondays)</i> <i>Kitchen garden trainee</i> <i>(Thursdays)</i> </p>
<p><b>Work with the Castle garden team, learn to manage a productive and fun food growing project and grow vegetables, fruit and herbs for a commercial kitchen and café.</b></p>
<p>Since September 2009, The Castle has been working to develop the one acre green space surrounding the building. This has been an exciting project with the vision to create a productive mixed use garden based on the principles of permaculture design. We grow fruit, vegetables and herbs for the Castle kitchen, café, make herbal tea blends and herb products for our shop. The space around the front has outdoor boulders and is landscaped and planted with hedgerows, trees, herbs and fruit.</p>
<p>We are looking for two enthusiastic people who are keen to learn about community food growing projects, growing food in a sustainable way, and who enjoy working outdoors and cooperating with other people & the Castle Climbing Centre. A great opportunity to learn and work around adventurous people!</p>
<p>The placements run from beginning of April to the end of September 2015, one day a week - Mondays for herb day, and Thursdays for fruit and veg. Both roles will involve learning to manage volunteers, they can sometimes cross over and there will be opportunities to assist in other garden maintenance tasks and getting involved in some garden events. There will also be a chance to also attend tutorials and training in urban food growing.</p>
<p><b>Closing date for applications is 5pm 28<sup>th</sup> February 2015</b> Interviews held Wed 18<sup>h</sup> and Thurs 17<sup>th</sup> March.</p>

<p></p> Air quality in Hackneytag:sustainablehackney.org.uk,2013-02-19:6446498:Topic:164252013-02-19T14:39:04.694ZKate Meakin Sustranshttps://sustainablehackney.org.uk/profile/KateMeakinSustrans
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Is anyone worried about the air pollution in Hackney? In lots of key areas (Stoke Newington, Stamford Hill, Shoreditch) the pollutants exceed the European and World Health Organisation safe limits. These are places that are used every day by the people that live in Hackney! Air pollution caused over 4,000 deaths in London last year and on top of that there are lots of health problems including heart and lung disease, cancer and asthma.</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Is anyone worried about the air pollution in Hackney?

Air pollution caused over 4,000 deaths in London last year and on top of that there are lots of health problems including heart and lung disease, cancer and asthma.</p>
<p>I work for a charity called Sustrans and we are looking for people or groups in Hackney that want to do something to improve the air quality in Hackney. We provide lots of training, resources and 1 to 1 support. We also have a small funding pot which you can apply to.</p>
<p>If anyone is interested in the project or would like more information let me know. I'd also be interested to hear people's thoughts on air quality. Does it worry you? Should it be under the 'issues' tab on this website?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
