Sunnyside Community Gardens Trustee’s Report April 2024 - March 2025

Co-Chair of Trustees Zena Gani signing our new 50 year peppercorn rent lease, supported by volunteers

1

Our Year

2024-25 was another busy and successful year for Sunnyside.

We increased our work of combating isolation, community building and improving the wellbeing of our volunteer gardeners. Whilst providing a beautiful garden always open for the residents of Hillrise, an area of high density social housing where homes have no or very small gardens.

Our volunteer gardeners are the core of Sunnyside. Our volunteer numbers have continued to grow, we delivered more and reached more people than last year. The number of days we were open for gardening, the number of volunteers involved in our activities, and the total number of days volunteers came to garden all increased compared with the previous year.

After three years of relative stability in terms of funding in October we came to the end of our National Lottery, Community Fund “Outdoor Hub” grant. We successfully applied for 5 new grants to cover our running costs. These, plus a generous donation from a local business, ensured our financial viability to the end of the 25-25 year and well into the next.

A big milestone for us this year was that we were granted a 50 year lease at a peppercorn rent for the land Sunnyside Community Gardens is on, from the Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Islington. Negotiating appropriate legal terms for the lease was considerable work and we are very grateful to Cara Beveridge from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP and Greg Fox-Smith (a local independent solicitor) for their pro-bono work and support to get it signed. With the security of tenure provided by the lease, we are now better able to progress the plans for our new building through the planning process, and to make more bids for funding.

Our architects, Cooke and Fawcett, continued to liaise with our community to develop plans for our volunteer building to ensure that it will meet the needs of our volunteers and the local community in Hillrise.

Another milestone was the evaluation survey and report from Shepherds and Moyes, the findings of which are outlined below. This demonstrates the value of our work and provides us with a strong benchmark for future evaluation of our impact.

Our people

Our Volunteers

Our volunteer numbers continue to rise while at the same time we have a strong settled volunteer community. In 2024-25 we were open for 196 days and had a total of 296 volunteers. Over the year they gave the community 2438 days of volunteering with an average of 12.44 volunteers per day. The following graphs show how these numbers compare against previous years.

Our drop-in model continues to attract a diverse and friendly group of people to join our volunteer community. One of Sunnyside’s strengths is how diverse its volunteers are. From the evaluation we know 16% of those who completed our survey are young people (16-24 years) and 55% are working age adults. 32% of volunteers have a disability or long-term health condition and 50% are from ethnic minority communities.

Our Staff

After three years of a stable part-time staff team, Robert Bradshaw, one of our community gardeners, left to take up a full-time position in the gardening team at Kenwood House. We were fortunate to be able to fill the vacancy this created from within the team.

Our Impact

The Shepherd and Moyes evaluation report gave us a valuable insight into the difference we make to our volunteers and community. Volunteers report extremely high levels of satisfaction with the volunteer experience at Sunnyside.

98% of volunteers agree that:

And 94% agree they receive appropriate training and support. In terms of improvements,

The key learning of the report:

Inclusive and diverse: people from a wide range of ages, backgrounds and abilities are involved. People are treated as individuals, with a strong ethos that everyone is able to contribute in some way.

Flexible and reliable: no need to pre-book or navigate any complicated online booking systems, volunteers can just drop in on the days that suit them, no prior experience is needed and everyone is able to get involved, regardless of ability/experience/confidence etc. The gardens are always open for volunteering on the days advertised, and are always open to the public 24/7.

4

Strong sense of community: the strong communal ethos of working, eating and supporting each other builds strong connections (to others and nature), belonging and ownership. This has a significant impact on people’s health and wellbeing.

Everyone’s ‘back garden’: a beautiful, relaxing, well maintained greenspace in a densely populated area where many people lack their own private gardens

Balancing the needs of people and nature: a focus on biodiversity, supporting the council’s biodiversity action plan and maintaining SINC status

Quotes from the Shepherd and Moyes report:

It helps me meet kind welcoming people and feel part of a community. It helps me to NOT feel lonely. It cheers me up.’ (Volunteer)

‘It supports me when I feel isolated with nobody to connect with. It lifts me when I have low mood and anxiety to work with nature and eat with others.’ (Volunteer)

‘Sunnyside Community Gardens has helped me feel more connected to my local area. It is a great way to spend time outdoors, close to nature, and to meet new people. I feel better mentally since I volunteer every week!’ (Volunteer)

‘What I’ve learnt doing this job and working with different people, is that actually, everybody's the same. Whether they need support workers or not, some people need a little bit more time. You’ve just got to find them the right job, and sometimes be a bit patient. It’s just about getting to know people’ (Community Gardener)

‘Coming to Sunnyside has been a bit of a haven for me. It is so valuable to have structure and

a space to be given a reason and a purpose to do something. For me the being amongst plants and trees, and hoping to make a positive impact upon the local environment is one of my main incentives’ (Volunteer)

Our Garden

We were open for drop-in volunteering gardening four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Sunday), for 50 weeks this year. Each day is led by a Community Gardener who ensures everyone is welcome and leads the gardening. Volunteers do not need to pre-book or bring any equipment. Refreshments and a free home-made lunch cooked by one of our volunteers or staff are always provided. This free and relaxed model means that gardening is accessible to a wide range of people. In addition to the four volunteer gardening days, Sunnyside hosted 11 social events on the first Sunday of each month. These events include a sale of volunteer grown plants and a stall selling cakes made by volunteers, plus a seasonal activity in addition to the opportunity for volunteers and our supporters to socialise.

Both the main Sunnyside Gardens and the Peace Garden continue to flourish under our care. We further developed the planting around the Morris Family Garden, and the management plan for the meadow resulted in a dramatic increase in the amount of wildflowers. Sunnyside started to benefit from the compost produced by our partnership with the Sustainable Nutrition Academy. In the Peace Garden, we completed the underplanting of the rose beds, and they flourished. It was a shimmering carpet of flowers for months and brought a wealth of bees and other insects.

After many years of disruption, this year we were able to start developing our plant nursery. The importance of having this space has been demonstrated by the amount of plants volunteers produced for use in our gardens and for sale at our plant sales. Over the year we constructed new beds for vegetables and laid paths across the site. One of our volunteers designed and built a pergola for the space.

Our Funding

The National Lottery Grant that covered 80% of our costs came to an end in October 2024. Our running cost continued to grow, due to our increasing number of volunteers and increases in the cost of living.

Therefore, the Sunnyside management team and fundraising sub-committee had to devote a lot of time to applying for grants from other funding bodies to cover our ongoing running costs. Despite a challenging fundraising environment Sunnyside was successful in being awarded five grants plus an £8,000 un-ringfenced donation from Marigold Health Foods Ltd that enabled us to continue running our full programme of four volunteer days a week for the remainder of the financial year.

Grants awarded were:

  1. The Co-op local community fund donated £1,739.24 so that we could run community activities at our monthly Sunday social event.

  2. We received £5,000 from Islington Council's Community Chest grant (Cripplegate) towards Tuesday Gardening for adults referred to us with extra support needs.

  3. We were also awarded an additional £2,000 from Islington Council’s LIF (Local Initiative Fund) grant.

  4. We received a £25,000 un-ringfenced grant from the Postcode Lottery which meant that we could fill in all the gaps between grants, and maintain a reliable service for our volunteers.

  5. The Trusthouse Charitable foundation match-funded the Postcode Lottery grant with an additional £10,000

At the end of this financial year we received two additional grants. These include the first of three annual £30,000 grants from Mercers (which came with an additional £5,000 for staff wellbeing) and £20,000 National lottery Awards for All grant. These are being carried over to contribute towards our running costs in the 25-26 financial year.

Whilst the management committee were primarily focused on fundraising for running costs our community continued to fundraise for a new building with a sponsored run and donations to our GoFundMe page.
