We are a community centre beside Brockwell Park. The community hall is rented out and a variety of events are held here. We have recently started growing vegetables and herbs and we were fortunate to get some volunteers through IEL (Incredible Edible Lambeth) who helped us to start clearing the garden. It needs a fair amount of work to make it safe for young and older people to come and enjoy the space and lovely building. We have held many different events over the years. We always have a Xmas event where 2 of our residents dress up and deliver presents. Also we have an egg hunt We want to revive the community spirit We are starting a weekly coffee morning within the next few weeks to help break the isolation that many feel. We are awaitng confirmation that will enable us to run a school holiday club with the aid of a couple of ladies . The plan is to introduce the young ones to the beauty of wild life and the environment as well as the joy of arts and crafts. We are also looking into the possibilities to have a food bank.

The Friends of Cressingham Garden - Christine are not a very large group, But with the help from IEL , Good Gym and volunteers, have already made a difference to the space.

The idea is to help break the loneliness of many on housing estates. To make the community centre more available on a regular basis.

We have a coffee, craft and gardening day to allow residents to have somewhere to go and meet their neighbours and learn how to grow food whether they have a garden or not. Giving people a place to go amongst nature to help with their mental and physical health. Weeding and harvesting are both very calming.

On the 5th May between 1 - 4 they are looking for volunteers to move above a ton of soil!! Come for as much or as little as you like.

Perfect for our trusty GGers so get signed up!
