Aim
Bath City Farm are raising £30,000 to keep nature close for all to access at this vital green space at the heart of Twerton and Whiteway.
Keep Nature Close at Bath City Farm
Bath City Farm is a free green space at the heart of Twerton and Whiteway, serving communities among the most deprived in the country. Our 37-acre site is both a wellbeing hub and a haven for wildlife, welcoming 70,000 visitors each year and supporting more than 1,300 species.
Through 20 social impact programmes, we help people of all ages improve their wellbeing, develop skills, and connect with nature. Last year alone, over 550 people benefited from our services, including adults experiencing mental health challenges, people seeking employment opportunities, and local families. We also welcomed hundreds of school children to learn about food, farming, and the natural world.
The Farm plays a vital role in tackling climate and nature challenges locally. Our trees, hedgerows, wildlife habitats, and regenerative farming practices help increase biodiversity, improve flood resilience, and capture carbon, while giving local people the chance to take part in positive environmental action.
Why we're crowdfunding
We're raising £30,000 to expand our climate and nature work, including launching a new wildflower nursery, improving habitats for wildlife, supporting regenerative farming, and ensuring local people can take part in environmental activities through our events and programmes.
At a time when climate change can feel overwhelming, Bath City Farm provides practical ways for people to make a difference while improving their own wellbeing.
How your donation will help
Your support will help keep the Farm free and accessible to everyone, maintain this much-loved green space, and ensure climate action remains at the heart of everything we do.
It costs £2,600 every day to keep the Farm running. Every pound invested generates £46 of social value, supporting both people and nature across our community.
How you can help
1. Make a donation
Every contribution helps protect Bath City Farm's 37 acres of green space and the wildlife that calls it home.
For a limited time, donations are match funded, doubling your impact. There are also special rewards available as a thank you, from postcards to places on heritage craft workshops, but once they're gone, they're gone.
2. Spread the word
Please share our appeal with friends, family, and local networks. Your support helps raise awareness and brings us closer to our goal.
Together, we can keep nature close, protect this vital community space, and ensure future generations can continue to benefit from everything Bath City Farm has to offer.
Thank you for your support.
