Comic Relief supports the Southampton project that helps homeless people get involved with allotment holders to provide routine and a social outing.

Charlie, famed for never wearing her bra on the gardening programme, will be visiting the project at the Sandhurst Road allotments.

As part of the campaign, Sport Relief have teamed up with the Daily Echo to give away more than £62,000 to local community groups.

The grants are not specifically for sporting organisations, although those are welcome to apply, simply to those organisations with an income of less than £50,000 a year in the city.
