Sunnyside Rural Trust

Sunnyside Rural Trust is a pioneering social enterprise based in the heart of the UK, dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture and community engagement. Established with the vision of creating opportunities for individuals facing barriers to employment, the Trust operates a range of initiatives that blend farming with social inclusion.

At Sunnyside, we believe in the power of nature to transform lives. Our core activities include:

• Community Supported Agriculture: We provide fresh, organic produce to local communities, fostering a direct connection between consumers and farmers.
• Training and Employment: We offer training programmes designed to equip individuals with the skills needed for a career in agriculture and horticulture.
• Therapeutic Gardening: Our gardens serve as a therapeutic space for individuals with mental health challenges, promoting well-being through hands-on gardening activities.

Our vision extends beyond just farming; we aim to cultivate a sense of community and belonging. By engaging with local schools, businesses, and volunteers, we create a vibrant network that supports our mission.

As a Trust, we are committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. We employ eco-friendly practices in all our operations, ensuring that our impact on the planet is positive.

Join us at Sunnyside Rural Trust, where we grow not only food but also hope, skills, and community spirit.
