Stakeholders are any Brighton and Hove resident interested in organic food production and services that we offer. CSA Share customers – who receive a Seasonal newsletter sharing onsite news, invitations to site for visits and events, recipe suggestions to ensure they feel connected and are learning; they are regularly invited up onto site each season. We also encourage them to share any recipes they have enjoyed making with our produce. Trainees - although we see our Trainees probably 40 weeks of the year on average, we have setup emails and telegram groups for further communication needs. The Traineeships’ Annual Group is a good and well used platform for them to share inspirations as they come across them. At the end of each year, we ask a couple of Trainees to review the process with us and give any recommendations or advise they may have to help us improve our service. Regular Facebook group posts provide our members with updates, event reminders and general nuggets of onsite inspiration.
