A request for £600 has been made by Melton Community Allotment to purchase two wheelbarrows, a water pump, protective netting and frames plus Topsoil to assist providing an positive environment for disadvantaged people and those with mental health issues.

Melton and District Money Advice would like like £300 towards its ‘client aid pot’, which is a fund which pays for items such as an encouragement card or a small bunch of flowers to support members of the community they help with debt problems.
