Funding Boost For Community Allotment

EcoLocal has received funding for the Carshalton Community Allotment thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

The funding boost from Postcode Local Trust will enable EcoLocal to help people learn about wildlife friendly gardening.  Both adults and children will learn how to create homes for wildlife on allotments and gardens and grown food in an organic way.

Tansy Honey said: “We are delighted to receive this funding, which will help us run a series of free sessions at our Carshalton Community Allotment where people can learn how to create wildlife friendly gardening habitats”.

Postcode Local Trust exists to fund community groups and charitable organisations through a variety of grant giving programmes. To do so, the Trust relies solely on funding from the proceeds of tickets sales from People’s Postcode Lottery. When you sign up to play People’s Postcode Lottery, your postcode is your ticket. It costs £10 for 10 draws paid monthly in advance with prizes every day. A minimum of 27.5% goes directly to charities across Great Britain and internationally.
