About us

We are a large resilient community of asylum seekers and refugees and dedicated volunteers centred around our thriving allotment site in Levenshulme, Manchester. We welcome people from across Greater Manchester to our garden to give and access support and create a relaxing, therapeutic space to enjoy together.

Growing Together was established in 2011 through a collaboration between Revive, an organisation supporting refugees and asylum seekers, and the Highfield Eco-Allotment Project (HEAP). Originally a project under Revive’s umbrella, it evolved into its own entity over time. The initiative officially became a charity in 2016, registered as Growing Together Levenshulme (GTL), and recognised by the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with charity number 1166420.
