Hammersmith Community Gardens Association

London

Hammersmith Community Gardens Association is a local environmental charity set up in 1984. We manage four community gardens in Hammersmith and Fulham. HCGA has a range of projects which include conservation training schemes, volunteer gardening sessions, health and wellbeing projects, environmental playschemes and environmental education in local schools. We assist local groups in the design, plan and management of their green spaces. We promote environmental sustainability within the borough and manage our sites to maximise biodiversity and encourage wildlife. To reflect the expansion of our working to neighbouring boroughs in 2016 the charity adopted the working name of Healthy Community Gardening Activities (HCGA) The gardens are used as an educational resource by local schools, a site for volunteer gardening groups and in the holidays there are environmental play activities. As well as creating space for people the sites have also been designed to encourage wildlife. We run the community food growing area in Normand Park and work with local ‘Friends of’ groups to manage and promote their sites. In Westminster we run weekly gardening sessions in Queens Park Gardens, Westbourne Park and Penfold Street Hub. We support the Fisherton growing project with regular gardening sessions as well as by providing plants. In Westminster and The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea we deliver short Adult Education courses around gardening and herbal activities as well as a programme of walks. HCGA has a team of school gardeners who deliver environmental education sessions in schools on a weekly basis in three boroughs. These include formal curriculum-linked activities as well as lunchtime and after school clubs. We can also guide groups on how to make their premises more environmentally friendly and give technical growing advice. For more information about booking an educational visit for your group or for a member of our team to come to your site please contact us. Through the Grow Well project we work with local people across the Hammersmith and Fulham borough to provide therapeutic gardening sessions for people who need a bit of extra support hopefully leading to participation in our regular volunteering sessions. The Get Out There! project offers local unemployed or socially isolated people the opportunity to learn new skills in basic environmental management such as habitat conservation, tool use and wildlife identification. Participants get the opportunity to visit and work on a range of different habitats across London as well as local sites in Hammersmith and Fulham. We also run a Men in Sheds programme at Godolphin Gardens for socially-isolated men. Our Volunteers maintain our gardens and contribute hundreds of hours of their time each year. Many of them have physical or mental health problems which prevent them from working in paid employment. We also host around 20 companies each year on corporate volunteering work days. As well as completing several physical tasks the companies make a donation to HCGA which covers staff time and materials. This is extremely valuable to us as it then funds the upkeep of the gardens.

The Belfast School of Performing Arts is Northern Irelands leading Theatre School for 3-19 year old. We strive to deliver the highest level of training possible to each and every individual student. As well as providing an exceptionally high standard of theatre tuition and unforgettable theatre experiences, we have strong links with the West-end & Broadway, TV & theatre casting agencies. Under the guidance of our Artistic Director: Peter Corry we focus on helping our students grow in confidence so they can excel within the performing arts world and develop their social skills along the way. Our main emphasis is on fun while we learn and we have a strong creative, happy environment where our students create friendships for life. We have a firm belief in the ability of Musical Theatre to benefit young people as they grow and develop into young adults. You are never too young to perform and it’s never too late to start learning. We believe that being part of a Theatre School offers a creative outlet to express personalities in a safe environment, and by doing so allows our students to grow into confident adults. At BSPA we offer our students specialty training in performing Arts in age appropriate groups. This includes an exciting mix of Singing, dance and drama through professional specialised tuition. Our students learn to develop specific skill-sets whilst increasing confidence and enhancing social interaction. This is of benefit not only to those who wish to pursue a career within the performing arts industry but to all our students in whatever life choices they make in the future.
