Did you know Active Wirral have access to an allotment plot? In a peaceful corner of Birkenhead Park, you can enjoy the outdoors and spending time with like-minded people. Tools are provided and tea and coffee available.

Spending time at an allotment provides numerous physical and mental benefits. Physically, it offers a great way to keep moving, improves strength, flexibility, and works the heart and lungs with activities such as digging, planting, and weeding. Spending time outdoors also helps to boost vitamin D, support bone health and the immune system.

Mentally, working on an allotment can reduce stress and anxiety by promoting mindfulness and providing a sense of purpose. The connection with nature and opportunity to nurture plants can enhance wellbeing, while social aspects of volunteering fosters community, reducing feelings of isolation and improving overall mood.
