Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre

Farms for Children Project

From 2008 the team at Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre has been helping farmers and landowners introduce educational access on their farms.  This has included all types and sizes of farms from across Cumbria, Northumbria and the Scottish Borders .  This support has been offered free of charge due to grant aid from the The Mark Leonard Trust & The JJ Charitable Trust.

What Services do we Provide?

Support and advice is tailor made to suit the individual farmer or landowner and their requirements.  This can include:

• Farm safety assessments
• Healthy and safety documentation
• Risk assessments
• Preparation of activity programmes
• Help with the preparation of farm visit related policies and procedures
• Opportunities to observe and take part in an educational visit at Low Luckens Farm
• Mentoring support
• CRB checks and the process involved
• A venue for farmers to meet and exchange ideas or receive training & information
• Contact information to a range of specialists and useful organisations
• And finally even composting toilet plans.
