Rhubarb Farm
A new environmental social enterprise establishing in Langwith village on the Notts/Derbs border. It will be providing work, placements and volunteering opportunities to people who are unemployed, ex-offenders, ex-soldiers with PTSD, have mental ill health, physical health problems, learning disabilities or are the well who want to stay well. This will be done through the growing of fresh vegetables and fruit on an 8-acre site. Aiming to be operational in the Autumn, Rhubarb Farm is looking for the following items to scrounge, to help make the funds go further: garden spades and forks esp the smaller ones known as 'border' forks; wellies (all sizes), watering cans, water butts (large). If you have any of these items, or even other things you think may be useful for growing and sowing, please email Jennie Street - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We also work closely with the other Christian denominations in Derbyshire who together form Churches Together in Derbyshire
FiA is an infrastructure organisation (that is, we support other local churches and church based organisations to fulfill their aims) and as such we are members of 3D: 3rd Sector Support for Derbyshire. 3D includes a wide range of other infrastructure organisations, including Councils for Voluntary Service and Volunteer Centres who provide a range of practical support in areas such as organisational development and fundraising. We work in partnership with such organisations to maximise our effectiveness and reduce duplication.
