Partner
with Us
We love partnering with organisations and individuals to provide the best possible service to those joining us on the Seed Sowers Training Project. This project would not be possible without the continued support of our community, local churches, volunteers, donors, and grant providers.
Ways in which you can be part of our world
Grants
Without grants we would not be able to run the project, and we are especially grateful to those grant providers who are willing to support such a small charity.
We are grateful to be currently supported through grants by the following organisations:
House of Industry
How the charity spends its money:
Relief generally or individually person resident in the Bedford Borough who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress .
Volunteers
Whether you have a few hours to spare or are looking for a more regular commitment, our volunteers play a significant role in our project and we welcome your help. If you are enthusiastic about supporting vulnerable adults and have skills to share in gardening, cooking, or crafting, we encourage you to get in touch. A DBS check and your own transport are essential.
Even if you are only available on weekends, we would still love to hear from you! We often need friendly faces to help run our popular Coffee Shops. Please get in touch to see if we can find a role that suits you.
