Hands of Hope’s ‘Get Growing’ programme has been shortlisted as 1 of the 5 regional finalists to receive National Lottery funding through The People’s Projects 2023 and WE NEED YOUR VOTE to help us win.
The People’s Projects gives the public a chance to vote for the projects they would like to see receive funding to improve the lives of people in their community.
We’ve asked for £54,540 so we can run Get Growing for the next year…
What is Get Growing?
Get Growing supports people throughout Rother, Hastings and West Kent – teaching them to grow their own food and helping communities to avoid food poverty – all supported by volunteers.
- 28% of children in the local areas we support live in food poverty
- Get Growing is supported by local people who give their time to volunteer – getting them outside, physically active, learning new skills and connected to each other
When the going gets tough, the tough Get Growing!
What will we achieve with the funding?
- Through Get Growing, 20,000 people will receive FREE Grow Kits and support to grow their own food in whatever space they have
- Organic fruit & veg will be delivered weekly to local food banks to help those in need
Your vote could help us secure vital funds needed to deliver this project.
