Billinge

We visited Greenslate Community Farm, Billinge, built for the community by the community, to see what goes on in the 25 acres of farm and woodlands. The community farm, cafe and pre-loved shop is run by a team of dedicated volunteers, some paid staff and members of Care Farm, a provision for adults with special needs who carry out meaningful work in a supportive therapeutic environment.

A Wigan teacher will take on a gruelling 12-day challenge during the half-term break in a bid to make a difference for her pupils.
