Support our work Donate

We’re on a mission to bring the joy of growing, cooking, and sharing food to people of all ages and abilities. But we can’t do it alone. With your support, we can reach more children, grow more fresh produce, and create more opportunities for hands-on learning. Every donation, big or small, makes a real impact.

We are a not-for-profit, set up as a community interest company. This means that any funds that aren’t spent on lessons go back into running our organisation so that we can support even more people with our work.

Our impact How your support counts

Every day, we see how growing, cooking and learning about food builds more connected, resilient communities. In 2024…

Make a donation

One-off donations are perfect for people who can’t commit to a monthly donation but want to help children and vulnerable adults access food education.

  • £10 could pay for a child to enjoy two hours of learning about food and nature in our vibrant garden.
  • £15 could pay for a new fruit tree for our garden providing fresh food for years to come.
  • £25 could pay for all the ingredients for a whole community class to enjoy learning and eating together in our lively kitchen.

Recurring donations allow us to plan for the future and commit to projects long-term that allow children and families to benefit from a more nutritious future.

Donate Donate every month

“The fact that this is accessible is so important as there were things I wanted to do but I couldn’t because we didn’t have the money. Having meaningful and free opportunities like these after-school clubs is so important.”

- Parent, Hackney
