Local B Corps unite to transform allotment for Leamington charity allotment
Six Leamington and Warwick-based certified B Corporations joined forces to revitalise an allotment for The Esther Project, a Leamington-based charity dedicated to supporting women facing various life challenges.
This collaborative effort was part of the global B Corp Month celebration which takes place in March each year.
The transformed allotment will provide women supported by The Esther Project with the opportunity to grow their own produce, fostering self-sufficiency and offering a therapeutic space for relaxation and reflection.
This initiative highlights the core values of B Corps, which prioritise social and environmental responsibility alongside business success.
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
B Corp Month in March is an annual celebration of what it means to be a B Corp. The theme for the 2025 campaign is ‘Generation B’; a moment to recognise and empower the new generation of people who are using business as a force for good.
There are now over 2,400 B Corp certified businesses in the UK — a 40% increase from last year. The UK hosts a quarter of the 9,500 B Corps worldwide," said Kerry Steward at The Esther Project.
“We at the Esther Project are incredibly grateful for the support from these amazing B Corporations, who have come together to help bring our allotment project to life.
"This space will not only give our Esther ladies the opportunity to grow their own produce but also provide a peaceful sanctuary where they can relax and reflect.
"The positive impact this will have on their mental, physical, and emotional well-being is immeasurable, and we’re so excited to see this project flourish."
“It was a real privilege to support Lianne and Kerry at The Esther Project," said Sophie Howe, CEO at Comtec Translations.
"The work they do for vulnerable women in Warwickshire is truly inspiring, and we were so happy to help in creating a peaceful, restorative space for the women they support.
"It was also a joy to come together with other brilliant local B Corps to make this happen – a great example of what being a B Corp is all about.”
