Here at Your Local Link, Brunswick is a local charity that’s close to our hearts. Providing a safe and stimulating environment for people with learning difficulties to flourish, this Bishopthorpe-based shop and plant nursery offers much-needed purpose, care and support to those in need. As well as being an inclusive social hub and providing a way for local people with learning difficulties to work and connect with their community, Brunswick Organic Nursery is also a top spot for those wishing to pick up organic seasonal fruit and veg.
Unfortunately, the Brunswick team needs your help! Due to its battered, broken, and woefully out-of-date septic system, the Brunswick faithful (including staff, workers, and people with physical and learning disabilities) have been forced to brave chilly outdoor toilets for the second year running. While plans for an upgrade have already been completed, this crucial local charity is facing an eye-watering bill of £100,000 for the necessary works!
David, who visits Brunswick Organic Cafe most days, puts it simply: “Brunswick means everything to me, but the outdoor toilets are cold, dark and smelly. Please help.”
