     •  Totnes Development Trust is very pleased to announce that Funding of £9,500 has           been received to enable it to continue to run the THF gardening sessions so           successfully started last year.
          An application was made to the NHS and the value of the project was immediately           recognised. A suitable funding source via an NHS Charity ensured that the funding           was approved.The grant will be for a one-off period of 12 months commencing in           February 2012.

• The Co-operative has joined the list of organisations to have supported Totnes Healthy Futures.
  Louise Lewis, a member of the area committee of the Co-operative, presented a cheque for £1800 to Ed Vidler. This support will enable the Trust to continue to run the fortnightly gardening session for the remainder of the year, while further funding for the 2012 programme is sought.
