Story
We want to expand our growing groups across other blocks on our estate in Stepney, where residents are keen to meet and grow fruit and vegetables, but don't have funding for tools for each of the blocks. When we reach our target of £200 the excess raised will be used towards buying rain water butts, which cost £130 each.

I live on an estate in Stepney called Grand Union Place. I have lived here since it was build 5 years ago. I am on and was part of the group that set up the Grand Union Place Residents Association. I am keen on developing community spirit on the estate.
