2 About Us Social Farms & Gardens is the result of a merger between two existing charities: The Federation of City Farms & Community Gardens a UK-wide charity, established in 1980, with a strong track record in partnership and project working. It provided support services and advocacy for community managed farms and gardens which have become increasingly popular in the last few decades - today there are more than 2,500 of these local groups and an extensive community growing sector. Care Farming UK: was set up to promote and support Care Farming the use of farming activities for therapeutic purposes. Care farms provide health, social or educational care services for individuals from one or a range of vulnerable groups. It provided a central voice and supportive services for care farmers, to inspire decision makers. Social Farms & Gardens provides support and a national voice for a broad spectrum of initiatives, which are united by one thing they use land-based activities to benefit individuals and communities. Our advice and guidance will help them tackle problems associated with today s increasingly fractured and disconnected society, where many people feel left behind or ignored, marginalised and lonely. This often has a huge impact on their health and well-being, which in turn puts pressures on social services, the health and education sector, and even the police and probation services. Care farms, city farms, community gardens and other outdoor spaces can offer individuals with a defined need and their communities the opportunity to connect with the land, leading to enormous social, therapeutic and educational benefits. We will also be concentrating on advocacy at policy-maker level, providing a voice for the thousands of gardeners, growers and farmers whose passion, vision and innovation improves the lives of millions of people. Our membership currently stands at more than 700 local groups and we employ more than 30 staff across the UK. The majority are part-time.
