Company activities and impact

Financial year ending 31 July 2025 During the financial year ending 31 July 2025, Soil Squad CIC’s activities benefited the community in the following ways: Local food waste was diverted from disposal and returned to the local soil system. Between March and July 2025, Soil Squad processed 1,214.5 kg of local food waste, collected by an e-cargo bike from residents, local businesses, schools and events in St Albans. This food waste was composted at the Community Hub, reducing disposal impacts and supporting the creation of nutrient-rich compost for community use. Residents, families and volunteers were supported to develop practical skills in composting and soil health. Soil Squad delivered soil health education and practical composting tools through; 4 hands-on workshops, 2 webinars, 2 awareness stands, 2 school assemblies and 3 open day demonstrations at its Community Composting Hub and at St Albans venues, These activities enabled residents to gain practical, low-cost skills to reduce household waste and improve soil health. Environmental education reached a wide and diverse audience, including children and young people. Through assemblies and school-based sessions at How Wood Primary and Nursery School and St Michael’s C of E VA Primary School, Soil Squad engaged over 400 pupils in learning about soil life, food systems and environmental stewardship, helping embed climate and nature awareness at an early age. Free and accessible community engagement was delivered at public events. Soil Squad hosted awareness stands and engagement activities at local fairs and festivals, reaching large numbers of residents in informal settings and making environmental learning accessible without cost barriers. Opportunities for volunteering and community connection were created. The Community Composting Hub supported volunteer participation, learning and shared responsibility for local environmental action, strengthening community connection and confidence around sustainability. Income generated was modest and community-focused. Where income was generated through events, this was reinvested into community activity or donated (for example, speaker fees donated to expert contributors), ensuring the primary benefit remained social and environmental. Overall, Soil Squad CIC’s activities during this financial year supported local environmental resilience, practical climate action, community learning and wellbeing by closing the food-waste loop locally and reconnecting people, particularly children and families, with soil, food and nature.
