We visit this farm a lot - it's great to be able to give something back for all the work they do. I hate racing against other people, and I hate losing, so this is something I dread doing.
Here's some info about what they are doing:
Connection Centre appeal for £27,500 to complete our three new classrooms and training kitchen.
We have already raised £417,000 to build the Connection Centre, and work started last November. Now we just need to raise £10,000 to fit out these classrooms and training kitchen for immediate use this June, and to showcase the building's environmental features. So your donation today will allow us to make a real difference to even more lives. Donate £15 or more and we will put your name on the building's special 'thank you' board in recognition of your kind support.
Why the community needs us
St Werburghs City Farm is a green oasis situated in neighbourhoods of Bristol which fall within the 2-10% most disadvantaged areas in the UK. We welcome over 55,000 family visitors annually, and last year the Farm also supported 3,225 vulnerable children and adults, equipping them with skills to lead heathier lives and find employment. But the Farm's current single dedicated teaching space is running at capacity and has waiting lists. The new classrooms will allow us to double the help we give.
Our impact on the community
Every Pound you can give us today to open the Connection Centre classrooms will mean the Farm can more than double the good we do in the community, helping another 80,000 children and adults over our next 10 years. Recognising our impact, we've already been given £285,000 for 2016 by the Big Lottery Fund to run a three year project using the new classrooms to help disadvantaged adults. So your donation today really will make a difference. Thank you.
