Earth in Common launches fundraiser following arson attack

Environmental action charity Earth in Common (formerly Leith Community Crops in Pots) have launched an online fundraising campaign following an arson attack on the project.

Earth in Common’s premises were subject to a ‘devastating’ arson attack on Saturday evening.

They explained: “Fortunately no one was hurt, however as a small charity with the community at the heart of what we do this is devastating. The cost to our infrastructure, recycling facilties is over £2000 and the valuable time and effort put in by our staff/ volunteers is unmeasurable.”

Earth in Common have been overwhelmed by messages of support and have now set up a fundraising campaign on the Justgiving platform.
