Easington Colliery in Bloom recently applied for a ‘Quick Fix Fund’ from East Durham Homes for its ‘Soil-ution to Everyone’s Problem’ – a programme that provides high quality top soil to aid local groups’ planting schemes in the area.

And the bloom group now has a central resource of soil to improve the growth of planters, troughs and raised beds across Easington Village and Colliery thanks to an award of £364.

Peter Eldrett, East Durham Homes’ customer involvement manager, said: “Our Quick Fix Fund offers grants of up to £500 to groups whose work benefits local communities overall.

“We are delighted to help and look forward to seeing our estates’ gardens blossom in next year.”
