Friends Of Bathampton Meadows Riverside Brief Description of Organisation Friends of Bathampton Meadows Riverside was formed to maintain the beautiful riverside space at Bathampton Meadows for its wildlife and visitors. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Friends of Bathampton Meadows Riverside was formed to maintain the beautiful riverside space at Bathampton Meadows for its wildlife and visitors. In 2014, Bath and North East Somerset Council installed a cycle path along the riverside of Bathampton Meadows. However, no plan or budget was put in place to maintain the space. Realising the potential of the space, a Volunteer Group was formed and started to implement some key maintenance tasks. The ‘Friends’ was born out of this volunteer group. As Peter Fear, a member of the group, explained: “Momentum was picking up and the Volunteers decided to formalise themselves into a Friends group with a bank account and begin fundraising. We had very little experience with fundraising and the opportunity to join Localgiving arose at the time we were considering how to raise funds. Localgiving was a perfect solution”. In the absence of any funding from our Local Authority, the Friends are aiming to raise around £1,000 each year to ensure the beautiful riverside space is maintained for the benefit of the local community and the local wildlife. During 2016, the volunteers contributed over 500 hours. Plans for the future include ongoing maintenance, ecological surveys (open to the public), planting of trees and shrubs, creating areas for wildflowers, creation of a wetland and improvements to the hedgerows.

Since early 2013 we have been taking groups of children and adults out in an inspiring natural environment and giving them chance to find their own special connection that will stimulate curiosity, relieve tension, bring a sense of peace and connectedness, and open the door to the deep inner missing link that is their ancestral birthright; a sense of ease in the outdoor environment. The constant reports of record temperatures, wildfires, floods and droughts in the world today tell us that climate change is happening now. We are living with ever faster change, both technological and biological. We will need to draw on our incredible human capacity for creativity, resilience and cooperation to meet challenges ahead. Compassion and self awareness are at the heart of finding our courage to create our best future. It is widely known that our wellbeing and resilience is deeply intertwined with that of the natural world, and that there is deep intuitive intelligence available to us through our nature connectedness. Increasingly we as a species are divorced from the environment in which we spent hundreds of thousands of years evolving. Mental health problems and chronic illness are highest in technologically developed countries. Peer reviewed research studies prove the link between access to natural environment and wellbeing in all its measures; including better physical health, lower crime, less domestic violence, less need for pain relief post surgery, optimised mental health. Children are encouraged and supported to make their own choices … and to follow their innate curiosity in the diversity and complexity of the natural world. We recognise the importance of free play and want them to spend time on what interests them, while having chance to expand their skills and understanding. Through this they develop Strong social skills High self esteem Confidence in their abilities Their knowledge of boundaries – physical and emotional The ability to identify and manage risk Independence Their knowledge and understanding of nature as they follow the changing seasons Communication and language Physical ability Increased vocabulary stimulated by new experiences Ways of working together cooperatively Adults are facilitated to experience the best sense of themselves… through the stimulating effects of natural light, companionable activities, elemental experiences making fire, foraging, feeling the weather and noticing seasonal change in a beautiful woodland.

The Community Farm Brief Description of Organisation The Community Farm is a community-owned not-for-profit organic farm that grows, sources and delivers nourishing produce via our award winning veg box scheme. Every year thousands of local people benefit physically and mentally from our communities programme. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation The Community Farm (“The Farm”) grew from the Transition Towns movement. It is a community-owned and supported organic farm founded by volunteers in 2010. Our purpose is nurturing relationships with the land, food and wildlife through an organic Community Farm. By farming in harmony with nature, we produce food that benefits the climate and biodiversity rather than damaging it. By nurturing relationships, we spread that impact into our community, and help others understand how their food choices impact the environment. Community is key to everything we do: we aim to grow community as much as food. Here communities are the webs of life that are connected with the farm. From the microbes in our soil to the birds in the hedges to our members and the people caring for our land, our habitats and growing our crops, to those buying, packing and delivering our boxes. Working with our communities, we grow, source and deliver organic produce and groceries to customers within 15 miles of The Farm, via our award-winning weekly veg box scheme and wholesale customers. Supporting this we run engagement activities. These include volunteering sessions, outreach activities, an intensively supported wellbeing programme, school programmes and food, farming and wildlife events on our beautiful land overlooking Chew Valley Lake, 11 miles from Bristol and Bath. Our engagement activities bring people together to gain skills and learn about sustainable, low impact and organic horticultural practices, as well as the opportunity to connect with and learn about the land and its inhabitants. The Community Farm was founded as a Community Benefit Society; a structure that promises to exist only for the purposes of its community, and the rules it has agreed it will abide by.
