The Green Pledge @ Gloucestershire Archives
Welcome to the Green Pledge podcast from Gloucestershire Archives. Travel with us through time to discover stories of local people who’ve protected nature and addressed climate change.
We’ll dive into the historic archive bringing to light our environmental past, to reflect on the present, and imagine what our future could be.
It is important to us to capture a wide range of voices for the archives. The views that can be heard in the interviews are the contributors own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the archive.

Project made possible thanks to National Lottery Heritage Funding.

Episode 11 - Empowering Futures
Empowering Futures is a care farm in Hambrook, South Gloucestershire. Their mission is to use horticulture and animal therapy to create positive meaningful changes to the lives of people living in the local community who are living with disabilities, who are vulnerable, isolated or disadvantaged. They are passionate about relieving social exclusion, increasing wellbeing and reducing the disparity between those with and without disabilities in employment. And they do all of this through the dedication of caring, sensitive staff and the power of being in nature.
