As transmission rates for Covid-19 are extremely high in our local area and across London the farm is currently closed to visitors and volunteers and is running with a limited staff team on site. We know that the best way to keep people safe and to enable our hospitals to cope this winter is to stay at home as much as possible and to reduce contact between households to a minimum. We are however very aware of the needs in our community for health and wellbeing. In particular to maintain connections with people, services, therapeutic and learning activity, nature, the outdoors and support. In order to help people stay safe and well at home we are aiming to reach out remotely and have put together a programme of activities which we hope will help people to stay connected to the farm and other local services during the lockdown period.
Go to our education activity pages for learning activities targeted towards supporting the schools curriculum but we hope of interest to lots of our supporters.

We would like to thank our current funders City Bridge Trust, Islington Council, The Mayor of London, DCMS and the National Lottery Community Fund for their support in continuing to provide these services, The London Emergency Response and Islington Giving for the emergency support which helped us get this far and all our supporters and donors without whose generosity we would not be able to carry on.
