The PFFA is run by a small team of volunteers Vikki, Sam and Zoe. we’ve been here for almost 2 years and the 3 of us recently set up as a Community Interest Company (CIC) so that we can access funding and do more to help our community (that’s you)

We have big plans for 2025 which include gaining funding to set up a community growing project, which we are very excited for.

Last week we submitted that funding application and we should hear within 4 months whether our application has been approved. Yes a whole lot of work does go into putting together a funding application, but it’ll be worth it.

In the meantime we will continue to help more people learn about growing their own food via our memberships.

Whilst you can’t sow much in a January, now is a good time to sow onion seeds. Once they pop up, transfer them out to a greenhouse, growhouse or a safe sheltered place in the garden as they don’t like being warm indoors.

We get asked a lot about what type of compost is best to use. Always homemade when you have a batch ready. In the meantime (until you can make your own) go and seek the advice of your local garden centre as some of the compost for sale at the moment is frankly quite awful! It should be nice and light and fluffy and this video shows how it should look.

If you’re new to growing and would like more advice and guidance. Join us here at Together We Grow:

Here at the PFFA we just wanted to say a massive thank you for the way you have showered us with supportive messages and kind, generous donations after our call out for help last week. This was very heartwarming and a few tears were shed.

It is so appreciated and we are so grateful for the kindness and genuine support for what we are trying to accomplish as we work towards helping build a brighter, food secure, future for all.

THANK YOU 🙏🏼 TRULY 💚

So you may have noticed that our website has disappeared... 👀

Don’t worry! Our new one is being built and will appear very soon.

It has a fresh new look to be more representative of what the PFFA is all about these days and the plans we have for going forward.

We’ll keep you posted with its relaunch 🎉

Behind the scenes, we’re going through a period of great change here at the PFFA as we move forwards as an independent Community Interest Company.

We’re currently unable to access any of our funds, leaving us feeling like students trying to juggle our money to pay our bills.

We REALLY don’t like to ask, but we need help to get us through the next few weeks 🙏🏼

If you are able to make a one off donation to help us keep operating and working on our new Together We Grow project it would be so helpful.

Whether you can afford £1 or more, we would be so grateful.

Our “office” will be closed for Christmas as our four lovely lady volunteers that run all the admin bits and bobs will be having a two week seasonal break to spend some time with their families, celebrate Christmas and have a well deserved rest.

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we are looking forward to the New Year. 2025 is going to be amazing 🙏🏼

You might see a couple of social media posts from us here and there but we’ll be back on Monday January 6th...

Love, light and seasonal greetings to you all 🎄

During a time of re-alignment we’ve been reassessing how we can best help others.

One of the exciting things to happen at the end of 2024, is that the PFFA became a CIC (community interest company). This is one of the most common types of non profit organisations in the UK.

A CIC is a social enterprise that uses its profits and assets for the public good. They exist to benefit the community rather than private shareholders.

CICs are not a charity, but they can apply for funding. They have their own bank account and have more of a business style image.

Watch this space for 2025 being a fabulous year!

Why do we think it’s important to help you grow your own food?

Because the quality of the foods available to us at the supermarket seems to get worse and worse.

Do we really know what has been added or sprayed onto our food and whether it’s safe for us to consume? The long term effects on human and animal health are very unknown, let alone the damage caused to the environment!

We need to become far more aware of what we are eating and the only way to do that is to grow our own food.

We’ll be here to guide you, no matter the size of your growing space.

Nurture and feed the soil and it will take care of the plants... add as much organic matter as you can to the top layer and the worms will do the rest! Make your own homemade composts, use well rotted animal manures or make your own leaf mold! The soil biome and gut health are linked and good soil will grow you nutrient dense food.
