March **2012** **TAR** 3 - Delivered 46 gardening club sessions supporting local residents and vulnerable adults. - Gardening club members had the opportunity to attend 3 x external training sessions and garden visits. - 2 x tailored work experience sessions were run for students from Roots and Shoots (horticultural college for young people with Special Educational Needs). **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** - 6 x gardening sessions were run for corporate groups. - 4 x workshops were run in partnership with other organisations (including Lambeth Carers’ Hub and Wise Ram Theatre). - 8 sessions were run in collaboration with Coin Street neighbourhood Centre for over 65s. - Nearly 200 volunteer hours were put into clearing an overgrown, abandoned area of land and turning it into a community food growing area. - 100s of bulbs and perennials were planted to improve forage for pollinators. Several areas of native hedgerow were planted and a number of habitats (eg, bug hotels) were created and improved. Roughly 800 square metres worth of space was improved overall. - Awarded 16[th] Green Flag and London in Bloom (Gold). - Overall, volunteers put in approx 1000 hours of time. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. We continued to rely heavily on volunteers which included those attending our weekly gardening club plus others working for corporate organisations, statutory and other voluntary organisations. It’s a mutual exchange whereby they support the infrastructure of the park by participating in basic activities such as weeding, pruning, planting and painting to more involved activities such as building hazel hurdles, creating bug hotels, pond clearance and constructing raised beds for food growing. The volunteering relationship was mutual, allowing gain for both parties. With the Conservaation Volunteers we built a “dead hedge” to encourage wildlife and in July ran a practical session with the horticultural students from Roots and Shoots so they could develop their experience outside college which supported their advancement into work. Volunteers from the Lambeth Carers’ Hub enjoyed a break from their responsibilities by undertaking some gardening activities to support one of our gardens. Many corporate groups provided help for completing the more physical projects such as planting up gardens which can be physically demanding for more vulnerable adults. Many also offered a financial contribution which allowed us to purchase items which cannot easily be funded by grants. March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** We continued to promote social inclusion by bringing people together through a common interest in gardening. We worked mostly with people from Lambeth and Southwark, and we have conducted ongoing outreach to ensure that we reach into these diverse communities. Our referral data indicated that 56% of our group members are BAME, 46% live with a long-term disability and 29% are LGBTQ+. The majority of our group members live alone, and appreciated the opportunity to socialise with others from the local community. We have also run tailored sessions with particular groups – for example, work experience sessions for students from Roots & Shoots Horticultural College (supporting young people with Special Educational Needs). Approximately 1000 hours of volunteer time has gone into ensuring we continued to improve the park environment for everyone. We have planted hundreds of perennials and bulbs, ensured spaces remained attractive and wildlife-friendly all year round. We have created a number of new habitats, including bug hotels. Over 200 volunteer hours alone have gone into clearing an abandoned area of land and turned it into a community food growing space. This has involved clearing tonnes of brambles, building raised beds, sowing vegetables and digging a pond. We have offered a range of educational opportunities. For example, our group have visited other gardens and have undertaken training workshops. We delivered a series of workshops for clients from Lambeth Carers’ Hub including topics such as growing in a small space, and we ran a nature-based creative writing workshop in collaboration with Wise Ram Theatre and Waterloo Community Counselling. We have continued to offer our consistent and regular group sessions whilst dealing with the practicalities of moving site within the park.
