Company activities and impact

City Bridge Trust - Garden ManifestoThe generous support of City Bridge Trust from December 2018 until November 2019 has allowed for a number of targeted activities around the theme of local community green, growing and orchard spaces.Green Spaces Community Banner - GLAStarting in June 2019 and due to complete by June 2020 the project looks at celebrating Hackney's green and growing community space by producing a 1.5m x 2m community embroidered banner reminiscent of the suffragettes work.Hackney Community Garden Maps - Hackney Council Community Chest Grant.This small grant from Hackney Council allowed us to map five different areas of the borough highlighting relevant and engaged community gardens, green spaces and orchards. Union of Hackney Gardens, Green Spaces and Orchards - National Lottery Awards for AllLeading on from the initial funding from City Bridge Trust we obtained a small award to officially set up the Union in Hackney linking in with Capital Growth to help register the gardens on their network map and store the data securely. #WhosHeritage - National Lottery Heritage FundInspired by the GLA funded community banner we applied to explore the theme of migration looking at plants instead of people but using this to highlight the acceptance of certain forms of migration over others.Community Banner - Arsenal Foundation Gunners AwardThis very welcome small award from the Gunners fund has helped to support our work around nature, the horticultural heritage of Hackney and engaging volunteers with mindful crafting activities.HCD Lunchtime Garden - Our Space AwardFunding from the GLA ‘Our Space Award’ grant stream to work with volunteers at the Hackney Community Development offices on Beechwood Road, Hackney E8 to remove paving in a courtyard garden and replace it with rainwater storage, a rain garden, keyhole growing space and socialising areas.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our main piece of consultation this year was for the Gardens Manifesto. Through this have consulted with local residents, gardening groups, charitable organisations and local council. The Gardens Manifesto is an ongoing movement to support gardens and create a network of growing spaces to provide a voice and protection for small community places in the face of increased population and competition for land. Several community gardens got together to draw up a manifesto which we launched in July 2018. The manifesto includes the following six points which we continue to work onProtect Hackney’s community gardens and green spacesPromote the benefits provided by Hackney’s community gardensCampaign to have Hackney’s community gardens designated as protected spacesCreate more space for trees, plants and wildlife in HackneyEncourage more residents to enjoy Hackney’s community gardens and green spacesStrengthen the union of Hackney’s community gardens
