What is a Community Benefit Society?
A Community Benefit Society is a type of legal organisation that’s registered with the Financial Conduct Authority. It is a not-for-profit social enterprise and increasingly recognised as a vehicle for delivering community led social change

We are registered!! As of the 15th of November, we are fully registered as a Community Benefit Society with the Financial Conduct Authority. Over the next week we will be sharing more information about what Community Benefit Societies are and some examples that have inspired us.

@NoningtonFarms @NFFNUK @PastureForLife Really interesting to see the multispecies approach to promoting wild flower germination - are there any potential impacts with nutrient loading on the competitiveness of the grass?

@ConforW @WelshGovernment @CyfNatCymDD We would be interested in speaking about how small scale commercial woodland can be integrated into farms

From the outside a co-op may look like any other business – it’s what happens inside that makes them different. All co-ops are based on the same principles and they share a set of values. via @CooperativesUK https://t.co/ocasLYTFfQ

@TraceyDuncombe We are aiming to do exactly that based around what is regenerative agriculture in the uplands and how does it fit into the wider narrative of transforming our food systems in the UK - would be great to speak about this more

@DaveThroup @The_HOEF In our area (Carmarthenshire) upland farms are being purchased by an international company for whole farm monoculture coniferous trees. We believe that sensitive integration of woodland and farming is the way ....

[Phoenix Farming Ltd: A Community Benefit Society @PhoenixFarming]

Today we had an interesting conversation with farmers affected by large scale coniferous tree planting for carbon offsetting. Buying whole farms, this activity is displacing farmers and the income generated isn't staying in the local community. We love trees but not this.

Today I am pleased to launch my strategy for my time as Future Generations Commissioner for Wales.

Diolch, thank you to everyone who has contributed their thoughts and ideas.

#CymruCan act today for a better tomorrow!

We dug out this little pond in Feb before planting a new wood a round it and it’s been teeming with life and giving us huge pleasure ever since - it cost nothing and has been one of the highlights of 2023 #digapond

[Katherine Teakle @Kat_Hydrologist]

I’ve been thinking today about the importance of communication.
How might my communication affect a person and by extension what impact will it have on the project?
Experience tells me that good communication = successful projects, with an impact beyond just meeting the brief.

[Niels Corfield @niels_corfield]

Why care about soil health today?
Feel like whenever it rains, it's like a monsoon?
Well, guess what, you're right

Soil health delivers on addressing the macro issues that arise from heavy rain events - and turn them into an opportunity
