As a not-for-profit community interest company, we rely on the support and involvement of local businesses and organisations that share our vision and mission. As a partner of Church Farm Ardeley, we ensure that you and your team get the most out of the relationship, helping you to identify specific areas of our work that are aligned with your values – in turn, helping us both to achieve shared goals and outcomes.

We will ensure that you receive regular communications and updates, so you can see the impact of the partnership and your ongoing contributions to the enterprise going forward.

Events & Volunteering

Providing innovative events and volunteering days to your team can have a great impact on staff morale, satisfaction and employee engagement. They improve your visibility, help with recruitment, skills development and retention. Physical tasks encourage motivation, team building and give people a huge sense of achievement.

Watch Mischief PR's CSR day film above or our From Field to Fork event video for examples of team building and CSR events you can host with us here at Church Farm Ardeley or, our sister site, Aldenham Country Park. 

Our events and volunteering programmes are interactive and enjoyable, and you will be joining many other partner organisations who provide people and funds to allow us to keep the farm doors open for the local community. Planning your event with us will enhance staff wellbeing and offer employees the chance to contribute to a unique social enterprise project and community resource.

As well-loved enterprise with limited budgets, we need your continued support in making the spaces vibrant, engaging and beautiful learning environments for all the schools, families and visitors we receive throughout the year.

Your support will help us to:

> Support our core staff, Rural Care and education teams & Co-Farmers by bringing your skills and experience
> Create strong links and relationships with us and other local businesses 
> Ensure the up-keep and maintenance of the farm, for the community to enjoy
> Help us deliver on larger scale long term projects, achieving our aims and objectives in next 5-10 years

Partnering with us will:

> Offer hands on, impactful development opportunities for staff, boosting morale and enhancing wellbeing
> Strengthen your company's relationship to the local community
> Support the shared vision for sustainably and ethically sourced local food
> Help to develop employees team work, problem solving and communication skills
