News

Supported by the Big Lottery, Vision 21 is soon to launch a new community vegetable project based at three locations; one in Cheltenham, a second in Cirencester and a third in Tewkesbury.

The aims of the project are to:

• Reduce CO2 emissions by reducing food miles
• Teach people how to grow their own vegetables
• Foster good relations between neighbours
• Reduce the average food bills of all participants

The project will span three years and employ a part time project officer (adverts will be in the local press).
