LEAP work parties continue more or less weekly, although the initial funding from the People's Health Trust has now ended, the coffers remain well stocked and new bids are presently underway. Having had the funds to kickstart the project back in 2014 we have continued to keep funding topped up and we remain solvent thanks to a variety of funders and supporters who have helped to maintain our independence and autonomy. The project has been a runaway success, we have recently had a final payment from the People's Health Trust to help establish pop-up allotments in the Horsefair as well as extend and further develop our park based activities in St George's Park. The Royal Horticultural Society that has already sponsored four raised beds in the park has pledged further funds for three more new raised beds we will be installing this Autumn. Here are a few pictures from today's work party showing some of the produce which is being regularly harvested by members of the local community as we address food poverty in the area.
