On 5th November 2021 Waitrose Sheffield as part of its ‘Give A Little Love’ grant giving scheme, donated £400 to Sheffield Environmental Movement.

Jane Edwards, Community Lead at Waitrose and Partners said; “We were looking for charities local to each branch that supported the environment. I came across your charity on the internet and was very impressed with all the work you do, but in particular the education side of your work. I love the fact that you are sharing your knowledge of environmental issues with people of all ages and backgrounds. I wish you and the charity all the very best with your work “.

Sheffield Environmental Movement thanks Waitrose and Partners for recognising and supporting our environmental work connecting marginalised groups to green spaces!

Climate Action Farm in a Box – Empowering children to confront the Climate Crisis.

farm in a box

Climate Action Farm in a Box is a free, hands-on, cross-curricular programme that builds connections between farming, the food we eat, and climate change.

Developed by education specialists The Country Trust, the Box is aimed to support Key Stage 2 (7-11 years) pupils by introducing the concept and consequence of global warming whilst inviting them to reflect and explore their feelings around this often-overwhelming subject.

You may have come across the Country Trust, but if not, we’re a charity which creates opportunities for children to build confidence, make connections and develop curiosity through food and farming experiences. We do this through four programmes; farm visits, week-long residentials, year-long food programmes in schools and lastly, Farm in a Box.

Farm in a Box is our latest programme which was developed in response to Covid-19.
