Abundance Reading is a project which harvests surplus of seasonal fruit and distributes it on a non-profit basis to communities and local groups. We are a team of volunteers that picks unwanted fruit from gardens and public trees in the Reading area and we distribute it to local groups and people in need.

LETS (Local Exchange Trading System) is a self-help community initiative that encourages and enables the sharing of neighbourly, skills and resources without money, eg lend tools, pick up a parcel, do some gardening or offer some emergency freezer space. The time you spend goes in a “time bank” and you receive “time points” (called Bricks). You can use these Bricks in turn to “pay” for the help you receive from within the group, and only reimburse direct costs, for example, ingredients for baking, fuel for lifts.
