Hey!

So I'm setting up a charity that will seek to establish public food gardens, run workshops on growing your own food, and provide the means to do so in the form of seeds and advice.

We also aim to build beehives, and encourage civic participation with young people, helping schools and students to petition for sustainable and environmental change in their local communities.

The charity will be managed with administrative overheads minimised- in the awareness that with many other big charities contributions and donations often pay towards unreasonable salaries!

It will be run as a democratic association, with volunteer members having voting rights on how funds are managed and spent.

I'm walking the length of Hadrian's wall as an initial fundraiser, with the aims of being able to set up a website and get the charity officially instantiated, with the aim to apply for funds and grants over winter - ready to start planting early next year!
