As a remote working organisation, the ELC is well placed to carry on during these difficult times of isolation at home. However, whilst we are all affected to some extent, those of us with young children now have them at home and are coping with a lack of childcare as well as a need to think about vulnerable people. Travelling to our sites is not advised. We will do less face to face work, not hold any team or community meetings and carry out much of our work remotely without meeting contractors. This will inevitably mean a reduced capacity temporarily and may mean that we are not always available immediately to answer your calls and questions.

This year we will hold our AGM online and we will be in contact with our members about this very soon.

We have been humbled by the support for our 2020 Share Offer, which started before the recent crisis had developed, and we still very much hope that we can attract new investor members to the ELC. There has never been a greater need for locally produced, healthy food and we want to help more new farmers onto the land, now and long into the future.

We hope that you stay safe and well during this crisis. If you do need to contact the ELC the best way to do this is by email to sonia@ecologicalland.coop.
