Our team work incredibly hard but due to very challenging circumstances we have reached a tricky point in the charity's existence at which funding is a major issue. 

​

You may look at us and think we're floating along seamlessly due to the securing of the new pavilion as part of the Nourishing Leith Project. However, discrete pots of funding such as this one are only one part of the jigsaw to our operation, and the construction work made it impossible to host many of our usual initiatives and fundraising activities. This included our Hingabootery café, which we all know and love. 

​

Like so many charities, we face short-term funding challenges that mean sometimes we’re up against a ‘hunger gap’ affecting our staffing capacity. The funding environment is especially competitive in these post-Brexit, post-pandemic days, and our reality is that we are struggling to cover our core operational costs. With the best will in the world, our ambitious project to create a thriving model urban croft, serving the community in multiple ways, could be put on hold while we are still developing our social enterprises and waiting for funding decisions to come in

 

This is why, in order to keep our charity running day-to-day, and hold our fantastic and knowledgeable team together, we need your help. 💛 

 

We know how much the Croft and Earth in Common mean to you all, and we’d really love to have your support in reaching our goals.  Together, we can do it!​
