CommEnt supports sustainable development by working with individuals, groups and organisations who wish to establish and develop community-based enterprises. Any surplus will be used to support local or regional charities working to improve the social, built and natural environment of their communities. During the year, we have continued to support community businesses and individuals who share our social and environmental aims, on occasions providing bursaries in areas of need. We have done pro-bono work for small organisations such as Greenslate Farm and other projects that aim to provide healthy local food and landscape regeneration. We have also continued to support local farms with their conversion of fallow land into productive landscapes. We have provided support to community growing projects such as Operation Farm in Hyde and the Edible Alleys project in Darwen, supporting food growing programmes for local residents and children's groups. We have continued to provide support to partners in other countries and we are promoting international co-operation on permaculture projects. We continue to liaise with our associate Asmelash Dagne over the establishment of the Gamole Permaculture and integrated Natural resources Training centre in Southern Ethiopia. We maintain productive links with permaculture institutes in Australia and in the USA. We continue to support the publication of the on-line journal Northern Edge as a free community resource featuring articles on health and sustainability.
Through our Northern School of Permaculture partnership, we continue to forge links with organisations in other countries that are working on community and environmental regeneration. We have received feedback from the organisations that we have been working with, sharing information about the state of the local economy, areas of greatest need, regenerative technologies and techniques and good practice in the field. We also gather much important information from our training courses and workshops where participants are encouraged to discuss current challenges and share their experiences. We continued our relationships with Greenslate Farm, Operation Farm, Friends of Platt Fields Park and the Manchester Road Community Arts Centre, allowing us to gain further insights into the various stakeholder communities and current patterns in the economy and society.
