BBC presenter contributes to £88,000 fund in response to attack on Carly Burd’s initiative to help feed vulnerable people in Essex
Gary Lineker has donated money to a woman’s charity allotment, which had been used to feed more than 1,600 people during the cost of living crisis, after vandals ruined her land by pouring salt over it.
Carly Burd, from Harlow in Essex, transformed her garden into an allotment to help feed people who were struggling to pay for food. The 43-year-old visited the plot of land last Saturday to discover that about 5kg of salt, which causes plants to dehydrate, had been poured over the areas where she grew organic produce.
