The Islington Gro-Mobile

We want to buy a milk float and turn it into a mobile potting shed and nature classroom that will empower communities to transform unloved spaces into on-the-doorstep veg patches and wildlife havens.

After a bit of a wait to get a re-spray, the Islington Gro-Mobile was delivered earlier this week. The next step is to add our logos, and then we'll be on the road! Keep your eyes peeled!

The Islington Gro-Mobile hit its fundraising target!10 years ago

Brilliant news, thanks everyone!

13 days to go!10 years ago

First of all we'd like to say a HUGE thank you to The Arsenal Foundation for pledging £1250 towards the Islington Gro-Mobile. Also thank you to everyone we met at the Whitecross Street Market last Friday, and who purchased a 'Sow-To-Go' kit to help the campaign. With only 13 days to go, we're nearly there, but just need one more big push. If each of you could tell just two friends about the project, we'd be even closer. We're determined to hit that target, and hope that you'll help us spread the word far and wide! Thank you for supporting the Islington Gro-Mobile, The Urban Wild Places Team

This morning we test drove the wonderful vintage milk float that is our new campaign vehicle! Once it has been fully refurbished and fitted out as a mobile garden classroom we will be on the road… Please pledge and share to help us get there :-)

Important Update to the Islington Gro-Mobile campaign10 years ago

Thank you so much for pledging your support to the Islington Gro-Mobile campaign. We've been delighted to see the campaign gain momentum over the past few weeks, and although it's not reflected on our Spacehive site yet, we are nearing our target with over £11,000 pledged. Spacehive has given us another month to allow all the pledges to come through, so the money you pledged will not be charged to your card just yet. The extra time is part of a silver lining to a cloud that fell over the campaign last week when Bluebell was suddenly withdrawn from sale. Not to be thwarted, the Urban Wild Places team rallied round and found a new milk float to replace Bluebell. The campaign continues, so there's still time to spread the word. We'd be delighted if you could share our campaign link. Every penny counts! www.spacehive.com/islingtongromobile You can follow us on Twitter @OctopusCN with #IslingtonGroMobile, or check in to our Spacehive page, for latest updates on the campaign. Thank you again for your support! All good wishes, The Urban Wild Places Team
