Hanwell charity gets allotments

Posted by James Gates on Sep 22, 09 03:42 PM in Good Causes

A CHARITY in Hanwell has been awarded a plot of allotments in a bid to encourage people to get greener fingers.

British Waterways donated over 2,000 sq m of land alongside the Grand Union Canal to The Charity of William Hobbayne, as part of an initiative to encourage first-time allotment holders.

The land, which will host 18 'baby-grow' starter plots, has been gifted on a lease to the community-focussed charity as part of British Waterways' commitment to schemes which are tackling the national shortage of available growing spaces.

Angela Wallis, local resident and trustee of the William Hobbayne Charity said: "This is a fantastic new project for us.

"We recently had to close our waiting list as the demand is so great in this area. These new plots mean that we can get more people involved sooner than we had hoped for."

We'd like to hear from you.
