Keveral Farm

Info:  Is an organic farming community near Looe, Cornwall (in the south-west of England). The original community was established in 1973, and the farm is now owned and managed co-operatively by the members of the community. We have about 15 adult members and 9 children. We live in a farmhouse, static caravans, a wooden cabin and a converted pig-sty!

Our farm-based activities include horticulture, veg boxes, camp site, orchards, apple juice and cider, preserves, woodland and tree work, joinery, mushrooms, herbal medicine. Some of us also work off the farm.

Keveral Farm sits high above the South Cornwall coast near Seaton, around five miles from Looe. It has supported a community of growers, using organic methods since the early seventies becoming one of the first Soil Association Certified farms.

OurFuturePlanet

Info:  The idea for Our Future Planet was developed in 2006 and the charity was established in 2008. Our Future Planet evolved out of a desire to rethink the direction the world is heading in and aims to inspire people to create a better world in which to live. Our Future Planet is an innovative website and online community for anyone who wants to design and create a future that does not unquestioningly follow on from the ways of the past.

Q & B

Info:  We are a growing network of Quakers and others. Most of us are Quakers presently in membership and all of us are in sympathy with what Friends stand for in the world. We support Q&B's core purpose of promoting Quaker principles in business and the workplace. Some of us work in the charity and public sectors at various levels of responsibility, others in the profit making sector, where we are either self employed, own and manage our own business, or work for manufacturing or service companies.

We are widely, thinly spread across Local Meetings. The Quakers & Business (Q&B) Group is the network through which we find each other easily when we need. It also gives us a collective voice. We welcome members, not just Quakers, who are in sympathy with our aims. You can join online here.

Q&B is a listed informal group within Britain Yearly Meeting. We have members in other Yearly Meetings and are in touch with similar networks elsewhere in the world. You can find our Constitution in the Documents section.

Roots and Shoots

Info:  Roots and Shoots is in Kennington, south London, close to the Imperial War Museum and the Houses of Parliament. Since the charity was founded 27 years ago, the one-acre former Civil Defence site has been transformed. Where once a Meccano factory engineering works and barrage balloon launch pad stood are now our eco-training centre, plant nursery, shop, Wildlife Study Centre and Wild Garden.

The charity was set up in 1982 by Linda Phillips, who is still the Director, to help disadvantaged young people from Lambeth and Southwark prepare for the world of work. Up to twenty 16 - 19 year olds, all with educational problems or issues , spend a year with us. All have been unable to cope at school and many are at odds with the world when they arrive at Roots and Shoots.
