New FCFCG Programme in Wales

FCFCG is celebrating after securing funding for a new three-year programme to develop and expand its work in Wales. Called Tyfu Pobl (Growing People), the programme is funded through the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013, which is itself funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and the European Union.

Tyfu Pobl will provide support and advice for both existing and emerging community growing projects in Wales, enabling the sharing of best practice, dissemination of information and the transfer of knowledge and skills within the sector.

The programme will provide a range of support for different models of community growing schemes including: community farms and gardens, allotments, community orchards, community supported agriculture and community-managed market gardens.

Charging for School and Educational Visits
Deciding how much to charge for services can be difficult for city farms and community gardens, particularly those just getting off the ground. The Growing Together in Wales programme has produced a short document which gives useful guidelines on how much some existing community farms and gardens charge to deliver school visits and other educational activities.
