An Update from the Team @Abundance Wimbledon
We’re looking forward to another fruity summer – and we need your support! If you have lots of fruit in your garden and can’t use it all, then please get in touch with Abundance Wimbledon. We can pick and collect fruit and pass it on to others to make jam, juice or puddings. Some of it will go to local charities providing food for the homeless and elderly or those impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic e.g. Wimbledon Guild, Regenerate, Foodbank and the Dons Local Action Group.

Last year was a good year for fruit – we collected and distributed nearly 2 tonnes! We want to thank everyone who helped us with this huge task and are excited (given the wet May and recent warm weather) for a bumper year in 2021!
To donate your fruit this year, find out more or if you’d like to help in any way, please contact abundancewimbledon@gmail.com or tel. Juliet 8946 2514.
Dates for your Diary
Abundance Wimbledon Fruit Day is our big annual event and this year will take place on Saturday 18th September, 11am – 2.30pm at St Mark’s Church Garden, Wimbledon SW19 7ND (entry via Compton Road).
Come and get some ultra-fresh juice from the fruit press or buy homemade jam, chutneys, cordials, pies and cakes and enjoy the music and games for children. Entry is FREE.
