Vallis Farm Education Centre - CIC

Vallis Farm Education Centre intends to benefit the wider community by creating opportunities to spend time outdoors and in nature, improving familiarity with and knowledge of the natural world. In particular, we hope to improve opportunities for young people by offering work experience placements, youth groups and ultimately post 16 qualifications to support them into meaningful employment and to show them practical ways to support biodiversity, tackle climate change and improve food security.

This is a big challenge, but not impossible. By creating a community interest company we intend to raise funds to enable us to achieve our vision of a generation with a positive outlook. After all ‘action is the antidote to despair’ - Joan Baez
