Elaine has been part of the Cornerstone Patch journey from the very start. She helped turn a bare site into a welcoming community garden. Elaine brings warmth, care and a strong sense of community to everything she does. From growing food to supporting youth sessions and community meals, she is always ready to help. You will often see her at the hub too. Thank you, Elaine, for all you give to our community.

Poole Men’s Shed volunteers have helped shape both the Hub and Cornerstone Patch into what they are today. They listen, plan and find practical solutions that make a real difference. From raised beds and shelters to clever storage and workspace design, their skills have helped us make the most of every space. They are also a friendly and supportive group. Thank you all for everything you do for our community!
