Thank you! Our #Stroudfunder campaign raised over £16,000!

A HUGE THANK YOU! With just hours to go, we successfully reached our £16,000 #Stroudfunder target.

All this funding will go to GL11's new 'Connect & Nourish' project, expanding our food bank to include cooking and growing skills and more.

Massive thanks to our local community for your ever generous support.

We know that a significant number of people in our area are struggling to access quality and nutritious food, and that things are getting worse, not better; usage of our community food pantry has doubled in the last year. But alongside these challenges sits real potential: local growers want to share their harvests, businesses are keen to donate surplus food and support workshops, and the council is backing community solutions. Most importantly, residents have ideas and energy to contribute.

Connect and Nourish will bring all this together, transforming GL11's outdoor space into a vibrant community garden, redistributing surplus food, creating spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together over shared food, building skills in growing and cooking through workshops and mentoring, and expanding our community pantry to keep nutritious food within everybody's reach.

Thank you so much for your generous support.
