Katie Hall remotely connected with me all the way from Vouleme in France to tell me how she got there, how she is coping with a French lockdown and about her very exciting plans for the future.

Katie chose to feature two tracks by the very talented Lewis Hall - do check out his work and Katie's Go Fund Me page (links below).

"Legacy is a project created in order to offer disadvantaged and/or city dwelling children the opportunity to spend time learning how to love and care for the natural world.

Set in the picturesque village of Vouleme, southwest France, The Hub will also serve as a community centre, including: a cafe serving vegetarian and vegan dishes, freshly prepared using homegrown and locally sourced organic ingredients; a zero waste shop selling eco-friendly products, organic food and drink products and locally made arts and crafts items; affordable family holiday accommodation beside the beautiful Charente river; an educational market garden, open to visitors and demonstrating permaculture techniques; various workshops including vegan and vegetarian cookery, zero waste cosmetics, etc.

Having privately raised the funds to purchase our amazing riverside property, set on 6500sqm of fertile land with a well and outbuildings, cafe, holiday gite and space for the new shop, additional funds are now needed to buy materials for the construction of accommodation cabins, composting toilets, solar showers and a large greenhouse, along with the renovation of the shop space.

Without these additional funds we could not bring this eco-socio project to fruition. Our initial target of 1000 euros will get the ball rolling but further donations will enable us to achieve faster results and help to subsidise the children's retreats once the works have been completed.

We are also looking into the availability of grants for the installation of solar panels and other eco-renovations, with the ultimate goal of becoming self sufficient and carbon neutral."
