Abundance Manchester is a voluntary project which picks surplus or unwanted fruit from gardens and public trees around South Manchester and distributes it to local groups and communities. We also collect and distribute surplus vegetables from allotments and have our own Abundance allotment to grow food for groups who can make good use of it. We also look after Kenworthy Community Orchard in Chorlton. Below you will find the latest updates on the project.
To get in touch please email abundancemanchester@yahoo.co.uk
Watch the clip here from BBC’s North West Tonight programme to find out more about what we do.
Abundance Manchester also strongly supports other groups and campaigns which promote sustainable, local and organic food. We particularly support the campaign against GM crops and the recent anti-GM protest organised by Take the Flour Back, which can be seen here in this short film.
We are part of a growing network of fruit harvesting groups, for a list of others around the country see the Abundance Network website.
Hi there I have created a West Ealing Abundance blog and added your blog to my ‘useful’ websites links. Could you have a look at my blog and and reciprocate if appropriate!
Thanks

Great initiative.
Keep up the inspirational work! and I hope you continue to inspire others to do the same in their area.
Hi guys,
I just saw you on BBC News and love the work you do! Keep it up! It’s a great idea to help others, save the environment, and have organic fresh fruit.
Best Wishes
Hi. I saw your group featured on the BBC news last night, and it seems like an excellent idea. It’s nice to see local people using their initiative to provide a useful service without waiting for the council or government to do something. I’ve given you a plug on the Libertarian Party’s North West regional blog. Good luck to you.
Fantastic idea – was good to sample that delicious apple juice today at Leaf Road.
This is indeed a great idea! Hope you have all the support you need!
What a great sounding project, keep up the good work.
