Urgent Appeal - High Winds Wrecked Our Garden – Help Save Our Crops!

The last spell of high winds tore through our community garden, ripping the cover from our polytunnel and leaving our plants exposed to the elements.

If we can’t act fast, we’ll lose this season’s crops and with them, the fresh, healthy produce that our service users grew.

Our community garden isn’t just about growing food. It’s a lifeline.

It offers a safe space for people to connect, learn skills, and improve mental wellbeing.

It’s powered by volunteers who take pride in producing something that directly helps their community.

It provides vegetables and fruit for low-income families and people in hardship.

Now, all of that is at risk.

We urgently need to raise £2,000 in the next few weeks to replace the polytunnel cover and carry out essential repairs before it’s too late. Without this shelter, our plants will wither, our harvest will fail, and the people who rely on us will lose vital support.

Please donate whatever you can right now. Every single penny and pound makes a difference. Together, we can protect our garden, save our produce, and keep this space thriving for everyone who needs it.

Thank you for helping us weather this storm and for standing with our garden, our volunteers, and our community.
