Our Beneficiaries
Over 500,000 people each year benefit from the direct service of our member organisations. Beneficiaries range from young children to the eldest seniors. London’s farms and gardens offer hands-on opportunities to grow food, care for animals, and improve the environment we all share. Volunteers and visitors have improved well-being from time spent at these projects, and whole communities benefit from well-kept open green spaces in the heart of the city.
Our Governance
The London City Farms and Community Gardens Association is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, incorporated in May 2007. We have 7 Trustees and a Company Secretary, all of whom provide their time and services on a volunteer basis. The Board of Trustees acts as our Management Committee.
We are an independent charity, answerable only to our membership. We have a close working relationship with Social Farms & Gardens, the national organization supporting hundreds of City Farms, Care Farms, and Community Gardens across the UK.
