This project was set up to provide local shops<br />
with fresh fruit and vegetables. It currently<br />
supplies five small shops, two sandwich shops,<br />
three youth clubs, two school tuck shops, and<br />
older people who meet at a community centre.<br />
The project also grows some vegetables, though<br />
most produce is bought wholesale.<br />
