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.

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

One-to-one and peer support

We will be providing a range of one to one and peer support services for farmers including:

  • One to one farm advisory services
  • Regional and sectoral peer to peer support networks
  • Farm tours

 

One to one farm advisory services:

Up to two days of farm advice will be available for 80 farms on a first come first served basis.  Advisors will help farmers look at their whole farming systems to evaluate their business and farming model from inputs to the end supply chain, identifying ways to help the farm business become more environmentally sustainable in preparation for ELMS and more economically sustainable as BPS income ends.

Tailored support will be aimed at exploring key management changes associated with conversion to agroecological farming systems, focusing on soil health, recycling nutrients, the dynamic management of biodiversity and energy conservation at all scales, and reducing external inputs. Production systems can include: 

  • Organic Farming (certified)
  • Regenerative/ low input systems
  • Pasture fed livestock systems
  • Agroforestry/ Silvopasture
  • Biodynamic Farming

You can sign up for the advice services here.

 

Peer to peer support networks & farm tours:

We are developing regional and sectoral peer-to-peer networks so that farmers have ongoing support and are able to learn from and with each other.

The peer-to-peer support network model has been developed through the LWA ELMS Tests and Trials and is a successful format for supporting farmers. As well as being invaluable for information and skill sharing, peer-to-peer networks also provide mental health and well-being support

You can sign up to the peer-peer support networks here.
