We are looking for two new Trustees to join our growing charity. Registered in May 2025, we support schools and youth organisations across Lancashire and Cumbria to transform their grounds using permaculture principles — making them wilder, greener spaces that support learning, wellbeing, and nature recovery.  

For over five years, our team has delivered hands on gardening and natureconnectedness programmes that help children and young people: 

• develop a love of nature and growing food, 

• understand their impact on the environment, and 

• feel empowered to take meaningful climate action.  

We currently work with a network of more than 35 schools and are proud members of the Morecambe Bay Curriculum and the Food Futures Partnership. To date, we’ve planted over 3,000 trees and raised more than £90,000 in grant funding, enabling us to grow rapidly and employ both fulltime and parttime staff.  

As we continue to expand our reach, we are aiming to grow our work beyond our current regions, building partnerships with more schools, communities, and youth organisations who share our mission. We are seeking Trustees who can help strengthen our governance, guide our strategic development, and champion our values as we take these next steps.  

​

Who We’re Looking For

Volunteer Engagement 

Someone who can help us grow and support our volunteer network, increase opportunities for involvement, and strengthen our community relationships.  

Charity Finance / Accountancy
