The Union vacant lot needs a covered market stall space - Afia's neighborhood project

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 325 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $450 goes: • Materials: $320 • Permits and inspections: $20 • Safety equipment and signage: $60 • Tools hire and delivery: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
