As an accredited Living Wage Employer weโre celebrating #LivingWageWeek!
Despite funding challenges, a year ago we committed to paying a Real Living Wage. We believe everyone deserves pay that is fair & helps with the cost of living.

Have you seen our new window display? Our space got a makeover on Friday thanks to artist Grace Jandrell & members of our community! We were also visited by @katejosephs @CentralSheff & @HillsboroGreens to discuss joys & challenges of running a neighbourhood arts organisation ๐
The arts funding system in the UK really is broken when you have nearly 350 orgs submitting ยฃ66mil worth of requests (I would assume most of this is just core, multiyear) to one of the only core trust & foundation funders who only has ยฃ6.5mil to give a year.
๐ฑSo much work and love has gone into creating our space at Heeley City Farm!
.
๐ฅWe also have a space at Meersbrook Walled Garden with lots of volunteering shifts available every other Sunday?
.
๐Sign up today and help us plant, grow, and harvest!

Sessions are free or pay-what-you-can, & it is not a faith-based group - all are welcome.
You don't need to have experience, and there are no auditions, ever!
