What We Do

Building Community, One Project at a Time

Myatt's Fields Park Project is the charity dedicated to keeping this green space thriving. But our work goes far beyond mowing the grass. From supporting local families and hosting cultural festivals to driving sustainability and horticultural excellence, we are building a healthier neighbourhood for everyone.

Don’t just take our word for it—explore our Project Gallery below to see the real-world impact of our work in action.

Food Five Ways is a collaborative partnership of local grassroots organisations in Lambeth that already work with food, including running pantries, supporting food growing, delivering food locally, and operating community food businesses - with a shared ambition to build a neighbourhood where no one struggles to access good-quality, culturally relevant, and affordable food.

Park Depot Redevelopment

The redevelopment has been designed by Ayer Associates. An entrance will run from Cormont Road through to the building, making the building more welcoming and accessible. There will be a central foyer with views over the greenhouse, training room, an events area including a kitchen, along with new offices for MFPP staff. It is hoped that work will begin on the project by January 2027.

Community Greenhouse

The historic greenhouse is a rare survivor from when parks grew their own bedding plants on site, avoiding demolition when others were removed. Since 2000, it has been central to supporting local and vulnerable communities, growing seedlings for community gardens, hosting horticulture training and cooking sessions, and supplying plants for use across the park.

Role of Myatt's Fields Park Project

Myatt's Fields Park Project is a charity led by local people that supports the park. We have a management agreement with Lambeth Council that means from 2023 - 2030 we provide:

  • horticultural maintenance including flower beds, mowing and hedge maintenance. Lambeth is responsible for maintenance of trees and hedges above 6ft
  • where we can afford it, we will contribute to reactive maintenance (eg mending equipment). Otherwise Lambeth is responsible for capital maintenance of the park.
  • income generation for the park
  • provide volunteering, training and employability opportunities for local people
  • provide a point of contact for local people and engagement activities such as events
  • host a range of local organisations including Lambeth Tigers football club, Mulberry Pre-school, Little Cat Cafe

Lambeth remains the owner of the park and is responsible for setting and the enforcement of bye-laws.

Sustainable in every way

We are working to become more financially sustainable, better meet the needs of our local communities and make our governance more effective and inclusive. Get involved or find out more: enquiries@myattsfieldspark.info
