Proofreading: annual report of a community garden association
Before and after (excerpt)
Before:
This year the garden welcomed 23 new members, and our waiting list have grown to 41 familys. Thanks to a council grant of £2,400 we replaced the old shed, it's roof had been leaking since 2023. Volunteers put in over 1.200 hours, a new record! The composting area was moved behind plot 14, which means the paths along plots 12-16 is now clear for wheelchairs. Special thanks goes to Margret Hale who organised the Spring Plant sale.

Consistency check across the whole report
- Names: "Margaret Hale" (4 times), "Tom Okoye" (3), "Priya Shah" (2), all now spelled the same way everywhere
- Organisation name: "Elm Street Community Garden" used in full the first time, then "the garden"; 3 cases of "Elm St. Garden" changed
- Spelling: British throughout ("organised", "colour", "programme"); 7 American forms changed
- Numbers: thousands with a comma, ranges with an en dash; amounts checked against the finance table on page 5, all match
Not changed (for you to decide)
- Paragraph 6 says "nearly 50 volunteers"; the table on page 5 lists 46. Both can be correct, so we left the wording.
- "Potluck" appears both with and without a hyphen in quotes from members; quotes were kept as written.
Total: 2,684 words checked, 57 corrections.
Client: Elm Street Community Garden, a volunteer-run association with 80 members Text: the 2,700-word annual report for members and the local council Brief: fix errors only, keep the friendly voice; use British spelling; plot numbers and amounts must stay exactly as given
