Crowdfunder! LIVE
Loveland is so excited to announce that our huge spring Crowdfunder is now LIVE! The even more excting news is that for every £1 pledged by you, our wonderful community, we will be match funded an EXTRA £4! This will turn a £1 donation into £5 and a £20 donation from you, into a massive £100 in the Loveland pot! So please head over to our page and get pledging!

We have some great rewards from just £1 so please share the campaign far and wide with all your friends and family. Let's Grow Together and Thrive!
Where will your funding go?
Your support will provide vital match funding for some exciting new developments on the field, and will also fund our well-being programme. We’ve recently been awarded FIPL (Farming in Protected Landscapes) funding and now need to raise match funding for:
• A wheelchair and pushchair friendly access track, to increase inclusivity and improve access to the field in winter.
• Two polytunnels to allow for year round food production, a more diverse range of food, and some much needed shelter for our committed (and often rain-drenched!) volunteers.
• A walk-behind tractor to allows us to grow more food, integrate green manures into our market garden, and manage our grassland for wildlife. Ultimately, sequestering more carbon and creating more habitat in the field.
• Improved compost systems to make more compost, that’s better quality too.
• A wildlife management plan for the field. The design, creation and management of dedicated wildlife areas to protect nature and increase biodiversity. We will restore some of our Cornish hedges, plant more trees, and create acres of wildflower meadows!

Your support will help us to continue to offer our weekly facilitated volunteer sessions. These run year round, where people come to share knowledge and skills, increase social connections, feel more connected to nature and ultimately feel better.
We aim to continue collaborating with local agencies to reach those most in need of accessing nature and health sessions, workshops and volunteer days. Employment Support Programmes and agencies assisting people with learning disabilities refer volunteers to our weekly sessions. We are linked in with the local Social Prescribing / Well-being Hub, Job Centre and University.
We know that our sessions have a positive impact on people’s lives - we want to sustain our offerings on a long term basis, and start offering more where there is a local need.
