Mission Statement
We are in the process of updating our mission statement, vision, and values. They will be published on the website in the new year. Thank you for your patience.
Core Organisational Objectives
We achieve our mission through four core objectives and all our activities and services are designed to support our SEED goals.
Sport
Creating better social conditions through sport and gardening activities allows us to provide opportunities for people to meet, exercise and take care of each other and the environment.
Education
Through the power of volunteering, our Early Years groups and nature classes, we are able to provide our community of all ages with vital skills and opportunities for social interaction.
Environment
Managing our sustainable green space and community facilities through our living lab project enables us to improve our environment for all to enjoy.
Diversity
Diversity is a gift which we at Calthorpe cherish. Our community welcomes people from all backgrounds. We create a healthy and inclusive atmosphere for everyone.
Core Services
A horticultural volunteering and training programme for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues
Sustainable food growing incorporating a closed loop food cycle, vegetarian cafe and waste recycling facility
Supervised activities for children aged 0-14 and their families
Sports development including coaching and training for young people
Community classes and activities delivered directly or with partner organisations
People from a diverse range of cultures participate in and enrich our activities. Our volunteer and training programmes teach new skills and provide opportunities for social interaction and outdoor exercise. Environmental and food growing sessions develop awareness of organic methods and composting. Many members have their own mini-allotments encouraging community integration. Our sports pitch provides programmes to improve health and wellbeing for young people whilst generating vital revenue. We provide respite from over-crowded housing in our Early Years drop-in and weekend play provision for children.
