Membership / Supporter / Donation Queries

Please contact Lauren.Simpson@landworkersalliance.org.uk

Requests for work, volunteering or internships

We are currently not recruiting for any roles but please read our newsletters for any announcements. We currently do not offer any volunteer or internship placements directly with the LWA, but keep an eye out in the newsletter or on the forum for any members looking for volunteers or workers.

Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Contacting Individual Staff

Please take the time to explore our staff page here to see who the most relevant contact for your enquiry is.

Our addresses format is firstname.lastname@landworkersalliance.org.uk

Please bear in mind we all work part time and have limited capacity to respond to enquiries outside our core areas of work.

Campaigns & Policy

Our campaigns and policy work is rooted in a vision of creating a better food, farming and land-use system for all based on the principles of agroecology and food sovereignty.  

To achieve this, our mission is fivefold:

  1. To advocate for our members’ interests across all sectors on a UK level, as well in England, Wales and Scotland
  2. To support diverse new entrants into agroecological farming, forestry and land work 
  3. To advocate for more sustainable and agroecological land-use systems and farming practices 
  4. To build and support the UK food sovereignty movement
  5. To stand and act in solidarity with peasant struggles across the globe.

Our work is grounded in evidence drawn from academic research as well as from our members’ experiences, and we actively engage with universities and independent researchers through the Agroecology Research Collaboration to ensure the research needs of our members are met.

Our 2024 Manifesto for Food, Farming and Forestry

Ahead of the next UK General Election which is due to take place before January 2025, we’ve published a new manifesto which presents our vision for a more equitable, ecological and resilient food, farming and land-use system in the UK.
