The Soil Association, founded in 1946, is an inspiring charitable organisation with an unwavering focus on transforming the way we eat, farm, and care for our natural world. With a vision of a world in balance with nature and a future with good health and a safe climate, the Soil Association is a group of passionate individuals striving to make a difference.

Operating with a team of 349 dedicated individuals, the Soil Association is committed to nurturing its workforce. It has invested heavily in its personnel, ensuring managers are well-equipped with the necessary skills through a two-day 'Essential Management Skills' course run by external trainers. This dedication to professional growth extends to all their employees, with initiatives like the 'Passport to Personal Growth' workshops, helping them understand their own personal learning styles and career aspirations.

The Soil Association also has a keen focus on wellbeing. It has successfully implemented a range of activities, such as running, badminton, backgammon, cricket, and squash groups, aimed at promoting physical health and social engagement. The organisation also holds a wellbeing week centred around the national Mental Health Day, further promoting the importance of mental health. Additionally, they have mental health first aiders in place to provide support for both managers and staff, signposting the way to professional assistance when needed.

The organisation has also introduced two volunteering days for all staff to be used for learning and development. Finally, their commitment to the environment is demonstrated through on-site recycling and a cycle to work scheme.
