Community Shares and Membership
BCE is a Community Benefit Society, a social enterprise with charitable aims. The organisation is made up of Members, each with a least one Community Share, and annually they elect the Management Board which are responsible of the day-to-day management of Bosavern Community Farm. BCE wishes to continue to increase the number of Members, making Society fully representative of the local community. The funds from Community Shares – purchased over and above the £1 needed to become a member – are treated as loans from Members to the Society and are one-way equipment and developments at the Farm can be funded.
For full details about becoming a member and purchasing Community Shares (£20 minimum for new members) see details contained in our Community Share Offer document:
