The Landworkers’ Alliance is a union of farmers, growers, foresters and land-based workers.

Feedback for us

If you have any comments, critiques, considerations, compliments, complaints, about anything the Landworkers Alliance is or isn't up to, do let us know your thought. We love feedback, it keeps a system healthy. Please fill in this quick form.

Membership / Supporter / Donation Queries

Please contact Lauren.Simpson@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk

Requests for work, volunteering or internships

We are currently not recruiting for any roles but please read our newsletters for any announcements. We currently do not offer any volunteer or internship placements directly with the LWA, but keep an eye out in the newsletter or on the forum for any members looking for volunteers or workers.

Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Contacting Individual Staff

Please take the time to explore our staff page here to see who the most relevant contact for your enquiry is. Our addresses format is firstname.lastname@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk Please bear in mind we all work part time and have limited capacity to respond to enquiries outside our core areas of work. You can also find information under the About Us header about branch and regional organising, and identity groups within the LWA membership.

Press/Media Enquiries:

For any queries relating to press please email press@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk

Merchandise/calendar Enquiries

For any enquiries to do with shop sales including the calendar please email merchandise@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk

To Include an Item in Our Newsletter:

You can fill in this quick form to submit it to be included in the next bulletin/newsletter. The deadline to submit is the end of Friday each week for the following week’s member bulletin. With the same form you can also submit to the monthly non-member newsletter which goes out in the first week of the month.

All Other Enquiries:

For any other enquiries that are URGENT please email info@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk with the word 'urgent' in the subject header and we will do our best to help.

    <br>A Flex PCB or FPCB is an unvarnished patterned arrangement of interconnecting components and printed circuit elements that use flexible substrate material on which electrical contacts are made. These flexible electronics boards can also be manufactured with the same parts used for traditional rigid printed circuit boards, yet enabling the board to adhere to a pre-designed shape (flip). The Flex PCBs is made from high-quality copper, which provides outstanding conductivity and thermal resistance for use in the electronics industry. There are many benefits to using a Flex PCB.<br>
    <br>Reduced costs. Since the flex pcb manufacturer only needs to buy components in bulk when producing a large quantity of pcb, he can offer significantly lower prices than a typical flexible circuit boards manufacturer. The cost savings are passed along to the customer, reducing the overall capital outlay required for the project. Another advantage to flex pcb manufacturing is that because the manufacturing volume is smaller, the company can offer lower prices to vendors who require a large quantity of flexible pay for their electronic devices. Also, because it is less expensive to produce than rigid pcb, a small quantity of pcb is required to manufacture all the components of a small project, enabling manufacturers to offer a price break to customers.<br>
    <br>More efficient design. Because there is no need to add a ribbon cable, connectors or soldering to the motherboard, the overall efficiency of the assembly is greatly increased. This allows the manufacturer to use a smaller amount of materials, resulting in a smaller production run and a cheaper price to the end consumer. Furthermore, due to the reduction in wasted materials and the elimination of excess routing routes, the overall footprint of the project is reduced. Due to these benefits, it is possible to see how a company could save hundreds of thousands of dollars on the creation of a full PCB.<br>
    <br>Reduced complexity in the design of the PCB. A major benefit of flex boards is their increased compatibility with other components, a phenomenon known as impedance control. The ability to control the resistance level of cables and connectors makes them extremely useful in creating a variety of different applications. For instance, some manufacturers who have the knowledge and expertise required to build high-end industrial PCs can completely eliminate the need for soldered connectors by using a variety of auxiliary connectors, soldering them directly to the motherboard, or using a combination of both methods. Since the entire process is streamlined, increased flexibility is another benefit of flex pcb production.<br>
    <br>Elimination of heat buildup during design. The majority of flex pcb manufacturing processes do not employ thermal conductive materials, like soldered connectors or ribbon cables, in order to decrease the amount of heat that must be conducted throughout the PCB. By eliminating the use of these materials, designers are able to reduce the amount of time needed for testing, thereby improving product quality. Additionally, because there is no heat buildup, the PCB does not need to have its components over-heated during design testing.

This helps to ensure that the PCBs produced are free of issues such as excessive back heating which can cause unpleasant symptoms such as burn-in and distortion.<br>
    <br>Reduces stack-up and jamming issues. Since flex pcb production has become so popular, it is not uncommon for a large quantity of PCB components to be delivered to a single location. Unfortunately, many companies experience an issue with excess components which make it necessary to ship these components in packaging that is far too bulky and heavy. By using standard cable and connector packages, companies can greatly reduce the potential for costly stack-ups and jams, which could significantly impact a given operation’s productivity.<br>
