KIDS CAMPS

We run camps for young people most school holidays, often with our friends at GO WILD, Knowledge and Practice or REVIVIFY CiC. We know that school holidays can be challenging for parents and we offer fun-filled camps that incorporate cooking, gardening, play, crafting, nature and stick in the mud – our favourite team game ever! Keep an eye on our What’s On page for details of upcoming activities as they get booked up fast.

 

A peaceful place for vulnerable people.

Refugees + Asylum Seekers

There is a growing migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker community in the whole UK and particularly in Croydon. Migrants, asylum seekers and refugees are often marginalised, with poor temporary accommodation, no recourse to public funds, and limited access to green spaces and healthy food. Our work looks to support people in this community to thrive and enjoy a healthy, fulfilling and happy life. We are also members of City of Sanctuary.

 

THE MENSHED

The MENSHED project offers a space for men to come together in shared enjoyment with practical, hands-on gardening with all the health and wellbeing benefits of being outdoors, being physically active, having fun and sharing skills and enjoying home-grown vegetable and fruit produce. We are developing our new programme and more details will follow soon. Keep an eye on the What’s On page.
