The Papworth Trust have applied for some funding from the Big Lottery 'People's Millions', and today's the day for voting!
Papworth's project is called “Cultivating Quality”. (You can read all about it HERE. I have also placed some info at the bottom of this post which describes the project.) Please vote for us on the following number:
0871 626 8848
The voting lines opened at 9 am and close at midnight tonight, GMT. Calls made after closing time won't be counted, but may still be charged.
You can vote up to 10 times and we are really hoping that you will. However, if you ring from a mobile, it will cost the bill payer nearly £3.00 for 10 calls. On the other hand, if you use a landline, you can make 10 calls for a £1.00.

Thank you bloggy pals!
"Cultivating Quality" Project
This project involves developing a community garden in the midst of urban Basildon. This will be accessible to people with limited mobility and to gardeners of all ages, with raised beds for people that find bending difficult.
It will include a sensory garden for people with hearing or sight impairments, and a wildlife area with a pond to improve the local ecology. The project will enable people with disabilities in the community to develop a range of work and life skills, while improving and sustaining the natural environment. The team will also work with volunteers, local schools and a group of students from Basildon Adult Community College.
