Sutton Trust Community Group Sutton Trust Community Group is a registered charity situated in the heart of Abbey Hulton

The Sutton Trust Community Group is a registered charity situated in the heart of Abbey Hulton in Stoke-on-Trent. Our core mission is to empower individuals to realise their full potential and become valued members of their communities. We firmly believe that every individual has the right to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life, regardless of their background or circumstances. At the core of our

work is the running of the Betty Rushton Community Gardens, home to a thriving community centre and an inviting on-site garden. The gardens provides a peaceful environment where individuals can foster connections with nature, facilitating light exercise, encouraging participation in gardening activities, and nurturing the development of new skills. In addition to our community garden, we organise a range of community events and celebrations, including the festive Christmas Light Switch On and an annual fireworks display. These events bring the community together and promote a profound sense of belonging among residents. In essence, The Sutton Trust Community Group is committed to creating a brighter, more inclusive future for the people of Abbey Hulton. Through our initiatives, we aim to uplift individuals, strengthen community ties, and ensure that every member of our community can enjoy the sense of fulfilment and belonging they deserve.

The garden is starting to flourish now and we would particularly like to thank everyone who worked in the garden this week and withstood some very high temperatures to ensure the garden was looked after.

This looks a bit counter productive for the garden as bees are great pollinators but this carnivorous pitcher plant actually traps insects and uses enzymes to dissolve them and use them as food.

These bees were lucky and did actually manage to escape.

Good morning everyone👋It's already very warm in the garden, plants are out for collection.

We have a couple of carolina reaper plants we would like to swap for a couple of scotch bonnets or other hot chilli plants.
