Corporate volunteering at Myatt's Fields Park
|
Get active for a great cause with a day's work in the park!
Practical activities: Expect a packed day out in the fresh air, getting stuck in with gardening and park maintenance. Tools, equipment and protective clothing provided. A fun experience: Get your team out of the office and working together doing habitat management painting, or planting. We'll send you photos and a thank-you post event. Support a small charity: We're a Green Flag Award-winning, community-run park working hard to grow a green and healthy neighbourhood within a diverse, inner-city area. Personal management: We will provide a team captain briefing, info pack and risk assessment ahead of the event, a friendly welcome on the day and supervision throughout from our community gardeners. Qualified first aider on-hand. Home-cooked food: Refreshments and a packed lunch will be provided by our on-site Little Cat Cafe, using seasonal ingredients from our community greenhouse where possible. |

What other corporate volunteers say...
“It was great to support a local community and we left feeling we'd really made a difference. The team at Myatt’s Fields are so passionate about park and the part it plays in their community, they took great pride in the running and appearance of the space – it was a pleasure to work alongside them for the day. As a team of 20 we could undertake so many tasks that normally would take weeks for the team to complete. Knowing that we were able to provide this support gave us a great sense of satisfaction."

"There was a great pace to the day, with lots of tasks, yet there was also room to reflect, to learn about the history and context of the project and to hear from the experts at Myatt’s Fields about growing produce and flowers. It was a varied, informative and rewarding volunteer experience. We'd highly recommend the day to other organisations, as a way to get to know one another better, in a beautiful setting while learning about this fantastic project which is making a real difference to the local community." Becky, London Community Foundation
