Stonebridge City Farm ‘Volunteer Vision’ Project

26 January 2024

Stonebridge City Farm provides a safe community space for families in Nottingham, while supporting volunteers to improve their health, wellbeing and independence – encouraging them to recognise their potential – with some cases leading to qualifications and paid work.

The ‘Stonebridge City Farm Volunteer Vision’ project offers support, training, mentoring, and volunteer opportunities to over 140 volunteers each week. Many of the volunteers are disadvantaged, vulnerable, at the edges of society, and suffer with mental health challenges or physical or learning disabilities.

A grant from AGCF of £145,000 in October 2021 has helped Stonebridge City Farm fund a Voluntary Support Worker, a Training and Education Manager, and three personal mentors. Since the grant was awarded, they have supported and increased the independence and wellbeing of 400 individuals.
