Tina Harrison, Six Town Housing tenant volunteer.
Tina Harrison is a founder member of Bury’s Corrie Gardeners, a ground-breaking tenants’ group in every sense; they’ve turned the turf around the Coronation Garden blocks into a jewel of a communal garden and, on the way, transformed and enriched community life. Tina’s neighbours and fellow gardeners wanted to celebrate her vision and inspiration, the driving force behind this achievement, and during lockdown she was nominated for an MBE. She hopes the honour will inspire other ALMO residents to believe that it really is possible to kickstart change in their own communities.
