Reading GrowAllot - an exciting new project from community group Food4Families - is through to the final of the Jubilee People’s Millions lottery competition on 29 June!
Local families want to turn derelict land in Florian Gardens , Southcote into a thriving community run allotment garden where they can grow fresh, healthy food together in a sustainable way.
But it won’t happen without your help. Reading GrowAllot needs your vote to win £50k lottery funding.
This project could help transform the area - where one in three live in flats, with no garden to enjoy. Local mum Annie Turnbull told us, “Many of the kids on the estate don't even know that vegetables are grown in the ground or that crisps are made from potatoes. It's also about people talking to each other and working together; it's about community”
Please pledge your vote now at www.food4families.org.uk and ask all your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours to do the same. Together, let’s make it happen for Reading !
Thank you for your support; after you register we will contact you on the big day!
Paul Harper, Chair, Food4Families Steering Group
