- About Me:
- I started Food Up Front www.foodupfront.org in early 2007. In November 2008 I started working on the new Capital Growth project, helping to start 2,012 new community food growing spaces in London, by 2012 www.capitalgrowth.org. I also came up with an idea for a campaign called One Pot Pledge. At Food Up Front we are working with Garden Organic to launch this as their national campaign for 2010/11 www.onepotpledge.co.uk.
In June 2010 I took on management of the City Harvest website www.cityharvest.org.uk, focusing on urban agriculture in the UK and across the globe.

[About my garden and filling in the capital growth form]
Due to being insecure with paper work i'm not very good with forms and i'd like to try and get the full fund as i will take this urban garden project all the way, keep you up to date with the progress and make it become a great community garden as it's something special. It's next to Sydenham well park, it's a detached house with a five year rent contract, garden size is 30 by 100 feet.
So far i have managed to purchase a greenhouse 16 b 8 feet for £60.00 due to damage glass i need to pay a lot for new glass. I know how to run a poly tunnel as i run a landscape business i have a lot of back up tools and a great garage entrance to the garden. I'd like to get an additional poly tunnel as there is plenty of room and very good relationship with all neighbours. So without trying to sell myself anymore with some additional funding for compost bins and irrigation system do you think i might managed to get funding for this project. I can give a list of 10 local house holds who will be willing to project mange this project and eat the fruits of the crop. So far three families get food but with a finished greenhouse and polytunnel we can do so much more.
If you wish to talk i'm at 21 Longton Avenue sydenham 07525819885.
If you every need help with ideas on projects or cooking for up to 3000 people you can ask me for my technician skills and help to run the kitchen.
Kind regards jake
Hi Seb,
It looks as if we are friends on project dirt at one time i ask you to be my friend, i think this was to remind me i wished to tell you about my community garden and ask you, before i aim to fill in the capital growth form your advice as a project dirt friend.
One of the main reason i'd wish to apply for funding would be in sync with reminding people what a great urban space we have and how far we have taken this project in just 6 months. I have a strong background in pulling together from nothing small projects. the garden I'm using is in a very large rented property with five apartments. One day I wish to get this house as a housing coop. I'm part of a group, we have be doing charity work for many years. But are the only group who is a non fund raising charity non profit charity. (I'm sure there might be others out there)
So i'm helping our group understand how to run our dormant housing coop. I'm in the middle of changing the name to Local Community Connect housing coop. Even though the charity will never take any funding i feel we can do much more on a community basis if our housing coop works on equal level with alll other community based projects getting off the ground as to have something like a capital growth flag then everyone begins to see your part of the play.If you have managed to put some time aside to get this far through my dyslexic waffle, i thank you for your patients this taken me quite some time and strength to get this far but i'm up early so i'll continue. email continues next page.

Blagged seeds last year but they were from Suttons, and I want to go completely organic this year.

I've shamelessly featured FUF's Autumn/Winter food growing workshop in my front-page blog this week .... go ahead and make a comment on it, if you can! Cheers, Nick
Sorry you had to cancell your visit. You can view the work as it progresses on our projects page now. We will be giving details next week of the children and young people's summer scheme to run on Wed afternoons in July and August. Thanks to all the team at Sustainweb for the support and encouragement.
