Supporting Communigrow

By Euan Philipps

We are run by a small staff group and volunteers, and having stable finances means we can continue our work and extend our benefits to a wider group within the community – whether that’s running educational and well-being sessions, providing opportunities for people with additional needs, or for improving our environment and developing local sustainability.

There are many ways you can help Communigrow to raise funds, often at little cost to yourself – read on to find out more....

Volunteer with us:

Our volunteers are amazing – and you could be one too! From supporting our growing activities at the field to providing help with our website and administrative tasks, there are a range of ways that you could positively contribute to Communigrow. Some roles require specialist skills, but most only require enthusiasm and an interest in horticulture, wellbeing and/or sustainability.

Corporate Support

We welcome new corporate partners to create mutually beneficial relationships. Communigrow sessions can make a huge difference and allow businesses to support the community and demonstrate Corporate Social Responsibility values to employees, clients and suppliers. Spending a beautiful day at Communigrow, supporting a project or helping with growing tasks can make great team building sessions and volunteering days for small groups of employees.

Join our Veg Box Scheme

All our veg box produce is grown onsite, without using herbicides or pesticides, and is available from April to December. By purchasing our produce you can support the charity to run our educational and well-being sessions for various local community groups. We invite everyone who places an order to visit the Communigrow field, have a tour of the field and collect their veg box.

Donate

We wouldn’t be here now without the generous support of individuals, companies and charity trusts. You can visit our donation page Communigrow Virgin Money Giving or support our current campaign to raise funds to deliver workshops for young people, many of whom have really struggled during the Covid crisis. Our target is £500 - people have donated £100 so far, so any help reaching this target would be much appreciated.

Online Shopping

You can support us when you shop online and help us to raise money for our project. Visit Easyfundraising or smile.amazon.com and follow the instructions. It is free, safe and secure. Donations will be made when you use these to shop online at no extra cost to you.

Spread the Word and Become a Friend

Help us to get more people to know about Communigrow, not only to those who may become friends/donors but also to prospective volunteers and users of our services. Word of mouth is one of the best recommendations there is, and our supporters are the best advocates we have!
