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 is a non-money trading system. LETS is actually more like a timebank. It is system that enables people to exchange services and goods with minimal use of money - for example, money for ingredients for baking, fuel for lifts. It's a self-help community initiative that encourages the sharing of skills and resources. LETS groups trade in fictitious currencies; here in Bracknell we use BRICKS as there used to be a thriving brickworks in the area.
