The Maple health centre yard needs a covered market stall space - Harper's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $3,050 for materials.
🇬🇧 Scotland, United Kingdom2,008 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,050.
It will serve about 206 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $3,050 goes:
• Materials: $2,450
• Permits and inspections: $95
• Safety equipment and signage: $115
• Tools hire and delivery: $390
Thanks for reading all this.

Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Aberdeen.
Thanks for sharing this, Harper. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Aberdeen.
So sorry you're going through this, Harper. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Aberdeen.
