It goes without saying that we’re all living through extraordinary and troubling times and unfortunately, Meanwood Valley Urban Farm is going to struggle to get through this. The Farm is seeking your help to make sure they can open their gates again when this crisis is over.
It is currently closed to all visitors and can no longer host the 50 sessions for vulnerable adults or the outdoor activities for around 150 local school kids each week. This all means a huge and unprecedented loss of income.
A fundraising appeal has been launched to help steer the Farm through the crisis. In its 40th year, there were big plans to celebrate a big birthday with the community. With a little help, it may still be possible. There’s no doubting that it’s a hard time for many people, so any donation you can give would be hugely appreciated.
Whilst closed to visitors and participants, life on the Farm goes on.
Adam Ogilvie, the Farm’s Chief Executive Officer, said:
“I’m so proud of the staff and volunteers who are still working daily to look after the animals, including our new lambs and chicks, growing food in our market garden and keeping the site safe. We’ll continue to look after the Farm and all of the animals throughout this, in line with public health guidance.
I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well and that we can all come together very soon at the Farm to celebrate its 40th year.”
If you can make a donation, please do so here.
