We have some exciting news to share with you and a request for your help! The Orchard Project have just been shortlisted by the National Lottery Awards for 2019 as one of their top 10 heritage projects for this year. We were nominated for the work that we did on the Celebration of Orchards project to restore 30 veteran orchards across London, set up our cider and juicing enterprise and establish the UK's first accredited training in managing community orchards. We engaged with over 10,000 people across London and had nearly 2,000 amazing volunteers involved in the project!
