We’re a Santander SEDA winner!

Future Roots has been announced as one of the winners of the 2013 Santander Social Enterprise Development Awards.

The Santander Social Enterprise Development Awards (SEDA) aim to support social enterprises and Community Interest Companies looking to grow their business and improve their local community.

The Development Awards are targeted at established social enterprises, with two or more years of trading, that have ambitions to develop their business but need a financial boost to help them realise their ideas.

The £20,000 award allows us to increase our capacity at Rylands Farm by financing a new timber classroom and a smaller log cabin. This is great news for Future Roots, as this year we have been forced to turn away groups for the first time in our history due to lack of space. Support from Santander will really help us to grow and support many more people in Dorset and beyond.
