SE11 5HS Our vision is a city where people from all communities are empowered to experience nature to enhance their health, well-being, and life chances and we use the setting of our urban farm to provide a wide range of educational, recreational and therapeutic support programmes and activities that:
Support children and disadvantaged people to boost their confidence and aspirations via the development of personal, social, life and practical skills
Promote emotional, mental, social and physical health and well-being
Develop environmental awareness and action
Strengthen community cohesion
Create enjoyment and recreational opportunities for those from our local and wider communities
