Support the Crowdfunder & create new spaces for everyone
In March we’ll be launching a Crowdfunder to kit out the Learning Hub & Yard – brand-new community next to the Kitchen Garden.
These new spaces are for everyone. They will mean we can welcome ten times as many schoolchildren and twice as many charity partners to the gardens, provide much-needed space for volunteers and offer new areas to hire for celebrations, classes and meetings.
We want them ready, welcoming and fully equipped from day one. And we can’t do it without the support of our brilliant community. We’ve already raised £5.2 million for this vital project. We’ve got just £165,000 to go.
The Crowdfunder will be a chance to come together and help fund work that supports learning opportunities wellbeing and biodiversity, as well as opening a whole new corner of the Gardens for everyone to enjoy.
You will be able to donate whatever you can, share the campaign with others and be part of something that has a lasting impact. We’ll be sharing more details soon – sign up to our mailing list to stay in the know.
