Working with Butser Ancient Farm we are funding a new building on site that will transform the volunteering experience there as well as creating new volunteering opportunities and hosting workshops and classes.
This £250,000 scheme is Grow Up!’s flagship project and will fund not only the new building but also a host of events and activities lined up across the coming months.
The new building, expected to be ready in the spring, will provide office space and additional storage.
Meanwhile, rural skills and traditional crafts will be taught to visitors, open days are allowing more local residents to take part and courses will be shared with the community to inspire them about our local heritage and the natural environment of the South Downs.
Events
Our funding has helped to provide open days for East Hampshire residents at the Farm. Residents were given entry for just £3 on Saturday and Sunday, 12 & 13 October and again on Wednesday 30 October.
