Please help us fundraise for our meeting hut!

Empty Common Community Garden is a centre of food production, community participation, and education in organic gardening and sustainability in Cambridge. We are now raising money to build a hut out of recycled materials and buy a bell tent. These will be used for meetings, educational activities, larger events, talks, films, etc... This will give us a versatile meeting place right in the middle of Cambridge and the large bell tent which can be used within the garden or elsewhere so even more people can be inspired to live well with a light footprint.

Our seasonal review

We are going to build a hut out of recycled materials for meetings, workspace, educational activities and cups of tea so more people can be inspired to live well with a light footprint. If you can help us with funds, publicity or materials, please get in touch with Charlotte - csynge@googlemail.com - tel. 07752 143683. 

We have been chosen as a local cause to support by the Co-op and have our own page here. There are two ways to support us with this grant:

ONE - Please become a co-op member (coop.co.uk/membership) - you can then choose a local cause to support and we are there as one of them, so please choose us. When you shop, use your card or app on your phone and a donation will be made to ECCG. You can also opt to give your rewards to ECCG as well. If you live further than 10-15 miles from the garden you can change the postcode in your address details to CB2 8BZ and ECCG will come up as one of the local causes. So your friends and family elsewhere can also help.

TWO - Please share this far and wide, we need all the help we can get.
