Rice Lane City Farm has been here for 40+ years and we would like to be here in another 40, we make no charges for admission(*) and have always been funded through grants and donations. We keep the site open and free all year round with the minimal level of staffing possible, supported by willing volunteers and tons of goodwill. We do get some limited funding from Liverpool Council (it works out at about 1 month of operating costs per year) but the majority of our income is from bids we submit to charitable funds and the donations left by visitors.
If you would like to make a donation you can do so at the site, into any of the donation boxes dotted about the local area or via our gofundme page -

We also have a crowdfunder, which we can get match funding on -
