Growing Communities & Greener Spaces

- Our urban and rural land projects promote biodiversity, sustainable food growing, and ecological restoration.
- We work with volunteers of all backgrounds, creating opportunities for learning, social connection, and hands-on environmental action.
Education & Skills for a Sustainable Future
- Each year, we run over 25 courses, equipping people with the knowledge to apply sustainable principles in their own lives, work, and communities.
- Our eco-build training has helped participants develop practical skills in sustainable construction, reducing environmental impact and promoting greener buildings.
- Together with schools, local groups and partners, we share knowledge and inspire positive change.
Reducing Waste & Fighting Climate Change
- Our Scrumping project rescues 30 tonnes of surplus fruit annually, turning waste into valuable resources like juices, ciders, and preserves.
- We champion low-carbon living, supporting sustainable architecture and energy-efficient practices through courses, events, and advocacy.
- Every action we take aligns with our mission to regenerate rather than just sustain, ensuring a better future for people and the planet.
