Story
Following the mindless vandalism at the Penrose Roots to Recovery garden to the poly tunnel that has had its cover slashed 4 times since it was erected earlier this year. Some time between Thursday the 28th December and Tuesday the 2nd January some mindless individuals have again caused unmendable damage to the cover of the poly tunnel. they have also trashed the interior by slashing open all of our bags of compost and breaking tools and materials stored inside. The damage that these individuals have done is replaceable, however with little funding to keep the project going this is getting more difficult each time it happens, also the emotional effect that this kind of act has on the clients and volunteers that use the garden is immense. we have over 30 clients who use the site as a place to escape their troubles and assist in their mental health recovery, reduce their social isolation and get fitter and healthier through nature and growing their own fruit and veg. this could cause irreversible set backs to those who use the recovery garden as their sanctuary.
we would like to raise £1000 this is to replace the damaged cover and other items and to install 3 CCTV camera's to hopefully deter these kind of acts or indeed catch the perpetrators and make them accountable for their actions.
please help us rebuild the strength of our clients and volunteers and them see the good in people instead of the senseless people action overshadowing their new and prosporous year ahead.
