HR / Contracts / Finance & Bid-writing (voluntary roles)

Not everyone wants to get their hands dirty! There are lots of skilled, desk-based written tasks which need doing to support a community farm.

We would be very keen to hear from you if you have professional experience of writing contracts, reviewing policies and procedures, helping to gather quotes for project budgets or writing grant applications. For an informal chat, please call our CDO and Chair Katie Kirk on 07946746396 or send us an email outlining your experience and availability katie.kirk@bosaverncommunityfarm.org.uk .
