Calderdale Ecological Land Trust (CELT)
CELT is a Community Benefit Society set up by the Grow and Graze Network with the help of Coop Culture, with the aim of putting more land into community ownership and/or management for the purpose of local agroecological food production alongside nature recovery.
It is a partnership between us (Pennine Cropshare) and Valley Organics Workers Cooperative together with other local food activists and was initially developed as a response to the Covid crisis when there were food shortages and local people were particularly concerned about access to fresh food and vegetables.
CELT Kitchen
With the support of the Community Foundation for Calderdale, CELT have been running healthy lunch events once a month at Wadsworth Community Centre. They are offering a Solidarity Sliding Payment Scale based on honesty and needs.
Chefs work with Pennine Cropshare to source the produce as locally and affordably as possible.
The next CELT Kitchen lunch with food from Hannah (Hanmade) will be on Weds 18th November.
