Robb looks forward to a busy year in 2010
Care Farming Scotland has a busy year ahead, as the organisation progresses towards achieving charitable status and sourcing sustainable funding for its continued operation. The latest developments will be reviewed at the next meeting of the Steering Group on 10 March in Edinburgh.
Martin Robb, Chair of the Care Farming Scotland Steering Group, said: "2010 is the year when Care Farming Scotland will come together as an effective organisation. Progress has been steady, though sometimes frustratingly slow. We have our application for charitable status lodged with OSCR - the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator - and we are actively exploring sources of sustainable funding.
"Meanwhile, our database is expanding rapidly with interested individuals and organisations who either are or want to be involved in care farming, and we know of several exciting initiatives that are underway to develop new care farming projects.
"We are very grateful to the Scottish Agricultural College who have 'hosted' Care Farming Scotland through 2009, and we look forward with confidence to building a solid and sustainable future for the organisation."
