Can you help us with Abundance?

We are looking for residents in the Lutterworth area who have a surplus of fruit or vegetables that they would be willing to give away.
We are looking for volunteers to spot fruit trees where the fruit is not being picked.
We are looking for volunteers who are willing to help gather in the surplus fruit and vegetables.
We are looking for volunteers who are willing to distribute the fruit and vegetables to local residents.

Currently 95 per cent of fruit and 50 per cent of vegetables in the UK are imported.  DEFRA stated that in 2005 we imported  71 per cent of our apples, and many of our imported apples come from distant lands such as New Zealand, over 12,000 miles away.
Many of these fruits are produced using intensive methos, which are heavily rliant on oil-based farming systems, and are then transported using fossil fuels.
If we can harvest our own Abundance, in our own neighbourhood, in season, fresh from the tree, there are many reasons to celebrate!

If you live in or near Lutterworth and would like to volunteer with our Abundance project please e-mail us and let us know how you can help.
