A community garden: a volunteer-led effort in London
Volunteers in London are raising $2,700 for a community garden at the Freedom health centre yard.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,100, and the remaining cost is $2,700.
It will serve about 528 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Materials: $1,950
• Permits and inspections: $350
• Safety equipment and signage: $180
• Tools hire and delivery: $220
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Hannah. Hope this works out for you.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Salé but we're thinking of you.
