Looking for new trustees!
St Werburghs City Farm has been part of the local community for nearly 40 years providing targeted services and accessible green spaces that enable people to learn, grow and thrive. Our trustees work with the Farm leadership team to guide the charity and to make sure it delivers for our beneficiaries.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for someone with a background in finance, health and safety or business/start-up enterprise to join our trustee team.
Perhaps you live or work within the local area and are looking to make a difference within your community or perhaps you are already a regular visitor or volunteer at the farm or one of our events and would like to get more involved in what we do. Either way we would love to hear from you.

A city Farm in the heart of Bristol
St Werburghs City Farm is a small charity. We welcome 60,000 visitors each year, and provide a number of vital community services for over 3,500 people facing disadvantage of all ages and backgrounds.
One of our aims is to better connect people with the story of their food, from farm gate to plate. We also support disadvantaged members of our community to learn, grow and thrive, whether it be providing placements for adults with learning disabilities to gain skills in organic gardening, helping a young person at risk of exclusion finish their education or supporting disadvantaged adults to gain in skills and confidence.
