are: Advance the education of people from disadvantaged communities to improve
their social and health issues and economic circumstances. Support unemployed
people to increase their self-confidence so enabling them to access work or to
start their own business. Improve health by providing dietary information, local
fresh food sources and exercise. Promote the conservation, protection and
improvement of the physical and natural environment and to promote recycling and
sustainability practices. Develop training materials that support the
rehabilitation of serving and ex-offenders. Our history Seeds for Growth was
established in 2006 by people in Tower Hamlets who volunteered in projects to
improve health and well-being, particularly for the Bangladeshi community. In
2012 Seeds for Growth expanded its remit to projects in the Criminal Justice
Sector. Seeds for Growth has established food co-ops, school fruit tuck shops,
encouraged convenience stores to sell more fresh food, supported unemployed
people into work, regenerated community gardens and much more. You can read
