"I’ve always had a passion for nature and especially woodwork, so the knife carving course seemed to be a great fit. I’ve had a long time struggling with mental illness and being out of work, however The Sustainability Centre was fantastic and helped me out with their bursary scheme, without it I wouldn’t have been able to do the course.

Thank you to the following organisations who have funded this bursary.
Bill Mollison Bursary
At the Sustainability Centre, we have created a lasting tribute to Bill Mollison – known as the “father of permaculture” – the Tasmanian man who co-founded the global permaculture movement. The tribute will be in the form of an annual bursary funded by our Charity – the Earthworks Trust, to support a student on our 4 day Introduction to Permaculture Design Course every year. It is called the Bill Mollison Permaculture Bursary.
We offer this out of deep respect and acknowledgement of the important role and inspiration that Permaculture has within our organisational design, site and courses. We are connected to the international community of permaculture, its ideas and network of real people doing real things.
In offering this bursary we would like inspire others to create a network of bursaries across the globe to reflect the global influence that Bill has had. A power for good seeking to influence real and lasting change.
