Greening Brownfield has secured Capital Growth funding



Superb team work has managed to secure over £1,000 of funding for capital costs to create a temporary food growing garden and community space on the old tennis courts outside Carradale House, as part of the Brownfield Estate.
Capital Growth is an ambitious programme set up to support 2,012 new community food growing spaces for London by 2012.

Funded by the Lottery, Local Food and the Mayor of London, and a project of London Food Link and Sustain.

This exciting break through has led to Poplar HARCA, on behalf of Greening Brownfield being able to secure a further £2,000 of funds to support greening works across the Balfron and Carradale outdoor areas...

More on these exciting breakthroughs soon!
