'There must be more people in isolation in flats who can’t speak to people who this can help.”
A once-disused plot of land in Salford has been transformed into a garden that’s giving veterans a new lease of life. The project is the brainchild of ex-military man Vinny Neild, from Irlam, who started work on the garden back in February after finding himself at an impasse in his life and in search of purpose.
Since i’s inception The Allotment for Veterans on Tindall Street has been going from strength to strength - and now has over 70 members who visit. “We’ve got veterans on there now who are lonely and they say if it wasn’t for the Allotment for Veterans they probably would have done themselves in.” Wheelchair bound and living alone in a high rise flat in Patricroft, he built his own allotment, rekindling the love of gardening which he had had at school, to help him cope with his worsening mental health and a neighbourhood which he says was rife with ‘anti-social’ behaviour.
"Every trauma I’ve had I had to deal with it myself. There must be more people who are isolated in flats who can’t speak to people who this can help.”
