We are delighted to announce that the BEES Community Farm Project has been selected to take part in the Co-op Local Community Fund. We are one of three causes in the local community which Co-op Members can select to support between now and 23rd October 2021. The more members who select us and shop with the Co-op, the more funds we will receive.
