- The Reading GrowAllot project - an exciting new project from community group Food4Families - which is through to the final of the Jubilee People's Millions lottery competition on 29 June. Local families want to turn derelict land in Florian Gardens, Southcote into a thriving community run allotment garden where they can grow fresh, healthy food together in a sustainable way - but they need your help. Reading GrowAllot needs your vote to win £50k lottery funding. This project could help transform the area - where one in three live in flats, with no garden to enjoy. One local mum said: "Many of the kids on the estate don't even know that vegetables are grown in the ground or that crisps are made from potatoes. It's also about people talking to each other and working together; it's about community". Please visit this site and join STBRR in pledging your vote.
