Cyrenians Farm is part of Edinburgh Cyrenians (registered charity number SC011052). Edinburgh Cyrenians is an independent charity providing innovative help to hundreds of people a year whose lives are blighted by homelessness and poverty. We work with all parts of the community to eradicate homelessness and promote social inclusion.

An Organic Farm with a Difference
Cyrenians Farm is a small community enterprise located just outside Edinburgh. As well as growing delicious organic fruit and vegetables and cultivating livestock, the Farm is also home to a community of vulnerable young people, many with backgrounds of homelessness.

Make a lasting difference
The residential care service encourages volunteers from all different backgrounds and cultures. Working alongside our residents is a rewarding challenge. We also offer practical volunteering opportunities on the farming side.

Team Building
Our farm-based projects provide an excellent opportunity for you and your colleagues to build team working skills whilst getting satisfaction and reward of supporting a much-loved community enterprise.

What is in it for you?

• An opportunity for your team to learn about each other
• A chance to learning about homelessness and environmental solutions
• The opportunity for your company to demonstrate active Corporate Social Responsibility
• A day to remember
• A great lunch!
