Mr Allotment growing food for people in need

Donation protected
Hi im Chris aka Mr allotment on tiktok, since lockdown i have grown food for people in need using my garden. In 2024 i was offered an official allotment. I took on the allotment started clearing the plot only to find it flooded pretty bad, back to the drawing board. At the back end of summer 2024 i managed to get an exchange to another plot this was also bad approx 6ft high with weeds ( check videos on tiktok ). I spent months clearing the plot bad started planting around December time. At the end of February 2025 the council offered me a second plot for growing food for people in need due to media presence and seeing what i do. Again this plot was really bad ( see tiktok ) we fund raised as a community and managed to purchase a 30x10ft polly tunnel and 5mx2m fruit cage with butterfly netting which will allow me to grow certain foods all year round. We raised a staggering £1926!. I set this go fund me up now towards raising money for quality garden tools and power tools for use on the allotments along with other one of costs like self watering systems for the polly tunnel and water butts etc The garden tools i will be aiming to buy will be of the Kent and Stowe brand and come with a 15year warranty meaning these will last 15 years if cared for. Now the power tools. Obviously being down the allotment i will need battery operated tools ( broke grinder and impact driver down there fitting polly tunnel ) i will be looking for dewalt tools which will include impact driver, drill , circular saw , jig saw, mitre saw and grinder, these tools will be used to fence repairs, gate making , raised bed making and wildlife boxes. However going forward thinking if the sustainability of the allotments and possibly in the future obtaining more land i can use these tools to make things like planters, bird tables, compost bays, bird boxes , hedgehog boxes, owl boxes , bat boxes etc which can be sold to cover materials and profits going towards the sustainability of the allotments and growing food for people in need. RIGHT this go fund me is being set up as a way of showing transparency. , sales and other fundraising and making offline donations to here to show how much has been raised. You are more then welcome to donate to this and anything donated will be much appreciated
