Alara plays an active role in the local community and supports local projects where possible.
We have hosted volunteering events for the local community in our permaculture forest garden. Since December 2006 when we first planted the garden, we have had 3 planting days, a compost bin and wormery building day, and a wassailing party all attended by members of the local community who want to help to transform and maintain this green space in the middle of an industrial estate.
We donate any surplus ingredients or muesli to Food for All, a local charity that distributes food to the homeless.
We have made financial donations to BTCV to help fund a community groups networking designed to show what funding is available to community groups who need funding for specific projects.
We are supports of the Camden Green Fair and will have a stall at the event in June this year.
