Brandon in Bloom is celebrating after being awarded £4,350 from The National Lottery Community Fund.
The grant will help the group grow its community gardening projects, taking its work beyond the town centre and developing new areas for residents to enjoy.
Rachel Sobiechowski, one of the group’s directors, said the funding will have a big impact:
“I’m so excited to have received this funding. It will make a huge difference to the group, allowing us to expand out of the town centre and into new areas — enhancing green spaces deeper in our community.”
She also encouraged more people to get involved in the next phase of the project:
“We will need new volunteers to come forward to help us create and maintain this new area. If you live in the Green Road or Paddocks area and would like to help, please contact me at rachel@brandoninbloom.co.uk.”
This funding will support Brandon in Bloom’s ongoing mission to brighten the town, support wildlife, and bring neighbours together through shared gardening projects.
A huge thank you goes to National Lottery players for making this possible.
