Glasbren CIC
Description
Glasbren regenerates land and communities through food growing and nature education.
Modern industrial farming is intensifying environmental damage and exacerbating climate change and food insecurity. Glasbren are showing that smaller scale, sustainable farms led by local communities offer a better way, addressing both local and global challenges while promoting mental and physical health. Glasbren recently expanded to a 134-acre farm, but they lack capacity to fully capitalise on this opportunity.
Glasbren will use our funding to hire a Social Enterprise Coordinator to enhance fundraising, grow volunteers and develop partnerships, including with those already queuing up to partner. This will help them to scale their operations sustainably, fully utilise their new site, and increase their social and environmental impact.
