Vision and mission
Vision and mission
Our vision is to support climate justice: more sustainable ways of living, the wellbeing and social cohesion our local communities. Our mission is to rehabilitate a land that has remained unused for over 30 years and turn it into an asset for our local communities.
Please donate today online.
In just 2 years we have turned an abandoned piece of land into an asset to more than 300 residents, ages 1 to 70. Local authorities, businesses and residents have financed the first construction phase with a stunning total of £80,000.
We still have plenty to do and lots of helping hands to do it, but we need some materials for our next phase! Donate £10 for materials to build an up-cycled planter, £20 for a garden tool, £50 to get us a tonne bag of soil or £100 for six-months of public liability insurance.
