£2,633 funds community space in Melton
Melton Community Allotment is a local group that provides opportunities to learn how to grow and cook fresh food.
Nominated for support by Valentine Buffey, treasurer of Melton Community Allotment (MCA), this community project has used the funds to purchase and install a log cabin on site which will be used as a community space for training and social activities all year round.
With an estimated 400 visits in 2018, MCA has reached a stage where a building is needed to meet the growing interest from the community.This volunteer-run group provides opportunities for therapeutic growing and community activity for all in the Melton Mowbray area. The group also donate their surplus edibles to the local foodbank.
As the allotment is completely volunteer-run and receives no funding other than that raised, support from Carling and Everards has been essential to fulfil this project.
