About Kindling Farm
Kindling Farm is a Community Benefit Society owned by our 800 members with the aim of creating a fairer and more sustainable food and farming system for all. Last year we purchased a 78 acre farm in Knowsley, to establish a pioneering wildlife and climate friendly farm for the Northwest. The farm is a perfect example of a traditional Victorian farm, with its neglected but beautiful red brick farm buildings set around a cobbled courtyard providing huge potential for development of facilities to engage communities in sustainable food and farming. We have exciting plans and ideas to transform our heritage buildings into a thriving hub of activity, but we want to do it right and make sure our local communities feel involved from the start. This project will do just that, through a range of activities from co-design workshops, to wildlife walks to heritage skills opportunities. It is a hugely important time in our journey and a real opportunity to engage our communities in both the development of Kindling Farm and in protecting our local heritage and environment. This post was made possible by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
About the role
This post is focused on engaging our communities in environmental and heritage activities with the wider aim of creating a sense of involvement in and ownership of the development of Kindling Farm. This will involve a wide range of activities, events and volunteering opportunities.
We particularly want to engage communities currently underserved by heritage and environmental projects and this project will involve piloting activities targeting specific groups. This is both to engage them from the start of Kindling Farm and to work with them to identify challenges to engagement and solutions to those challenges to ensure that our future activities and work is accessible to a wide range of people and communities. This role will be supported by the Project Manager.
