We are beginning to have an impact on the environment with birds feeding from our feeders and persons disposing of their flowers and packaging from the graveyard in a more environmentally friendly way

The local economy

The local economy

To date our project has helped the local economy by the purchase of about £25000 worth of goods and materials. This will improve dramatically when we start supplying the local foodbank with produce from the garden for those in most need.
