Swansea Community Farm is a volunteer led charity. The only city farm in Wales, It has a range of farm animals, allotments and wildlife areas. The Farm exists to improve wellbeing, teach skills & create a sense of belonging, alongside producing local food and caring for nature and the environment.
We have really enjoyed the often challenging but healthy Pilotlight process. It has been incredible to have business experts ‘shine a light’ on some areas for development. Like most small charities, we tend to get caught up in the day-to-day firefighting and this process has given us permission and made us make time to step away and actually take the thinking time to work on strategy and leadership. The Pilotlighters and project manager are also a really nice bunch of people (as well as having varied and useful business expertises) that have filled us with confidence and reconfirmed the unique and challenging nature of what we do.
