Community Campaigners
Since the start of the Carbon Makeover project in September, four community campaigns have started up to tackle climate change in Knowle West.
Carbon Makeover campaigners recognised as Women Who Make a Difference
Project Agricola
A market stall at the Mede Centre in Inns Court, selling a wide variety of British-grown fruit & veg at affordable prices. The stall was run by local resident Lesley Belgium on Fridays. Lesley has now finished trading after more than 2 years - but residents can still order weekly veg bags at The Mede via Buried Treasure. Visit www.buriedtreasuregarden.co.uk for more info or to place an order.
