The Fresh start academy for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire moved a step forward this week, when a lunch date was set for 16th October 2007.
The academy will be based here at Marsh Hill Centre. The aim of Fresh Start is to help young people find openings within the agricultural sector. It will offer participants the opportunity to be involved in a comprehensive programme of training, designed to meet their needs. The training will take place over about 18 months and cover various aspects of business management, finance, and development. There will also be the opportunity to be matched with a business mentor or retiring farmer. At the end of the course participant will have the skills they need to run a successful farming business. The group is designed for those aged between 25 and 35, or though there is no upper or lower age limit. This academy will be part of a national network, so there will be varied opportunities. In the South East the project is being financially supported by SEEDA
The project is being steered by a group of motivated individuals who believe there is a future for British agriculture. This group is drawn from a variety of organisations. These include Representatives from the The Young Farmers Clubs, Land Agents, as well as our selves. For more information go to the DEFRA web site, where you will find fresh started listed under F.
