Andy’s story

Partner: Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

"Two years ago I worked with a group of young people at risk of homelessness and it was an eye-opener for my comfortable life, really. We had just grown and picked some great fresh vegetables that they were all quite keen about, but then they didn’t want to take them away… it turned out it was because they couldn’t use them! They were living in bed and breakfast accommodation so they didn't have any cooking facilities, all they had was a kettle. It's like Pot Noodle land, and that's just horrific.”
