Volunteering Opportunities with Fordhall Community Land Initiative

About

The Fordhall Community Land Initiative is a not-for-profit community owned society, which owns and utilises Fordhall Organic Farm in North Shropshire as an educational and social resource, promoting sustainable farming and healthy living. It raised an amazing £800,000 in 2006 through a high profile national press campaign to enable Fordhall Organic Farm to be purchased by its non-profit making shareholders, of which there are now over 8000 across 25 countries. This is now the first structure of its kind in the UK to place farmland into community ownership. The society was created by Charlotte and Ben Hollins, both in their early twenties, and is now developing into an exemplar project with wide reaching appeal and benefits.
