Lawrence Weston Community Farm

Who we are

Lawrence Weston Community Farm is a community managed project that delivers a range of services designed to help meet the needs of local people and communities of interest. We do this by working with members of the local community and partner organisations to provide exciting and inclusive opportunities and activities, as well as a safe, free, green community space.

We provides a supportive environment in which local people, many of whom experience multiple deprivation and inequality, can flourish and make long lasting, positive changes to their lives.
