How to get involved

There are many ways you can benefit from being part of the Burscough Community Farm Community

Take part in one of our 'Green Social Prescribing' courses or workshops.

We are running a series of courses and workshops on the farm, based around food growing, arts and crafts, and mindfulness in nature sessions.

You can be referred by an outside body such as your GP, a Link Worker, the JobCentre, or even your employer or a friend. Some places are funded through funders such as the National Lottery. Your referrer can fund your place. You can even fund a place on a course yourself.

We will be launching these courses in June 2024. Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on social media to see when dates are announced.

Become a volunteer

You can become a regular volunteer at the farm. This can involve participating in general activities needed on the farm, or you could take on one of our volunteer leader roles.

Regular volunteers come along because they want to be a part of the farm on a regular week-to-week basis. You don’t have to have mental health issues to be part of our community. Many people are members of the farm because they just want to get some fresh air and do something constructive with their free time. See more about becoming a volunteer.

Join our Community Allotment

Our Community Allotment is a community asset. You can join for just £36 per year per household. This gives good value if you consider that you’ll get a share of the harvest when you take part in the growing. The membership fee covers seeds, compost and other necessary expenses such as insurance. Join today to be part of the growing team.

Benefits to businesses

Businesses can benefit from the farm in many ways. Check out our corporate page to find out more.
