Our dear Vince lost everything in a devastating fire in IY over the weekend.

Vince’s green thumb and golden heart are the reason our Backyard garden has flourished so beautifully. He pours so much care into this space, and we are utterly heartbroken for him and his family.

We would love to help them get back on their feet, and we’re calling on our incredible Backyard community for support ✨

If you have anything you’re able to donate (beds, mattresses, bedding, furniture, appliances, pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, clothing, toiletries, groceries/pantry items, building materials, or anything else that might help a family start again) please DM us and we’ll arrange collection. We’ll also have a drop-off point at the café for the next few weeks.

Clothing sizes needed:
• Men’s 34 pants / M top (shoe size UK9/10)
• Women’s S/M (shoe size UK3)
• Girls 7–9years (shoe size UK12)

Thank you for always showing up for the people who make this little space so special 💛
