Evaluation findings - November 2024
Opened in 2022, Holme Farm is a community hub and registered charity in Woodham, Surrey. The site covers eight acres and was previously a disused farm. The aim of Holme Farm is to promote and encourage health, wellbeing and community, providing a therapeutic environment where people within Surrey can socialise, learn and thrive. They offer a variety of activities, including a community garden, biodiversity and conservation activities, arts and crafts sessions, and upcycling of donated items.
Holme Farm is community- and volunteer-led, with no paid members of staff. Everyone involved with Holme Farm, whether they are attending activities, an activity leader, back-office support or leadership, gives up their own time to do so. Therefore everyone involved with Holme Farm is referred to as a ‘volunteer'.
Full findings from this evaluation can be found in the downloadable report below, including volunteer survey results, volunteer stories and partner organisation testimonials.
