VOLUNTEER

Future Farms Foundation is a citizen-led initiative.

We're driven by the passion and commitment of people like you.

Volunteer with us, and put your time and skills to work in regenerating UK farmland, boosting biodiversity, and building a more secure future.

And as Nelson Mandela said: "It always seems impossible until it's done"

Whether you’re interested in hands-on activities, community outreach, or providing professional expertise, your contribution will help create lasting change.

Together, we can scale impactful initiatives across the UK, nurturing a greener, healthier, and more resilient countryside for generations to come.

Turning ideals into actions

That’s our ambition at Future Farms Foundation. While we firmly believe in the power of change, we’re also realists. We know it will take a community – one made up of passionate individuals who share a vision: a world that works with nature rather than exploits it.

To achieve this, we need all the support we can get (the more, the merrier!). Whether you have a few hours to spare or can commit to a regular schedule, your time and skills can make a real difference.

And there’s more: you’ll join a team of like-minded people, build valuable experience, and have a great time along the way. So why wait?

At Future Farms Foundation, we’re always on the lookout for a variety of skills and people to join us in a wide range of projects:

  • Farming expertise: support and coach new farmers as they establish and grow their farms, assess land before acquisitions, serve on our validation committee, and much more.
  • Event support: help us organise and run fundraising events, plant hedges and pollinator-friendly shrubs, or even become a pond-digging expert!
  • Administrative help: love numbers and data? (We all have our quirks!) Join us in handling office tasks, data entry, and other essential behind-the-scenes work.
  • Unique talents: whether you have an eye for photography, a flair for writing, a knack for social media, or a passion for baking delicious cakes, we’d love to see what you can bring to the table!

If you’re not sure how you fit into the categories above but still want to get involved, just reach out – we’d love to hear from you!

Why it matters

Climate change is no longer a future threat. It’s already destabilising our food systems and rising temperatures are on track to displace half of the world’s population within our children’s lifetime. At the same time, soil degradation and just‐in‐time supply chains make the UK alarmingly vulnerable to food shocks. For farmers, this means facing declining yields, rising costs, and increasing uncertainty.

Regenerative farming, by rebuilding soil health, actively captures atmospheric carbon, mitigating climate change, while also producing more diverse and nutrient-rich food.

By protecting farmland and enabling regenerative practices, we will help tackle the climate crisis, strengthen farmers’ livelihoods, enhance our food resilience, and ensure the produce on our plates nourishes both people and planet..
