SFL LATEST NEWS
Thatu has been able to supplement our original small donation to SFL for work in 2011 with funding of £2,000 from the Body Shop Foundation. We are delighted, and very grateful to them for this.
SFL will be able to expand their activities in their Home Food Gardening Programme and the Food Growing Enterprises and Food Gardening Learnership Programmes. In the first five months of 2011 SFL trained 279 individuals to develop home gardens, 90% of whom were still actively gardening when monitored some months later. And their food growing centres are creating income through selling both plants and compost. Four members have been selected to continue with more intensive training to develop their existing skills into marketable assets.
Home and Centre gardeners are encouraged and 105 have taken part in Life Skills training workshops covering plant propagation, community exchange system, preserve making, arts and crafts, hot box cooking and recycled jewellery making.
