Project Manna CIC
Description
Project Manna CIC are helping people find purpose and peace through nature-based therapy on a 5-acre farm in Dorset.
Through horticulture, animal care sessions and therapeutic group work, Project Manna support people experiencing mental health issues and physical disabilities. With the land now fully developed and matured, they have an opportunity to increase the number of adults they support by introducing a self-sustaining low-cost, fee-paying model. However, the part-time directors don’t have the capacity to take advantage of this.
With our funding, Project Manna will increase the hours of one of the directors, to get their fee-paying model up and running and to develop the long-term strategy so they can unlock future income streams from room hire and cabin rentals.
