Who We Are
|
The Myatt's Fields Park Project is led by a dedicated board of local residents and park users. Each year, trustees are elected during our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in January. Our team, made up primarily of local community members, works hard to ensure the smooth operation of the park.
The board holds quarterly meetings in January, April, July, and October to review and advance park plans. We also have three subcommittees that meet monthly, focusing on Finance and HR; Fundraising, Marketing, and Projects; and Community Engagement. If you have an urgent issue concerning the park, MFPP staff and/or trustees will meet with you. If needed, we can organize a focus group involving trustees, staff, and community members to discuss the matter. Please email us at [email protected] to share your concerns or suggestions.

What We Do
|
The Myatt's Fields Park Project is a local charity dedicated to supporting and managing the park through a management agreement with Lambeth Council for the period of 2021–2023. Under this agreement, we handle horticultural maintenance, including flower beds, mowing, and hedge care (with Lambeth managing trees and hedges over 6 feet). Where our budget allows, we contribute to reactive maintenance, such as repairing equipment, though Lambeth retains responsibility for capital maintenance. We focus on generating income for the park, while also providing volunteering, training, and employability opportunities for local residents.
As a key point of contact for the community, we organise engagement activities, such as the summer fair, cultural events, Pride picnics, Harvest Festivals, Festival carols, and markets. Additionally, we host various local organisations, including Lambeth Tigers Football Club, Mulberry Pre-School, Trees for Cities, Father Nature and Little Cat Cafe, with Mulberry Pre-School offering two Stay and Play sessions weekly for local families. Our work ensures the park remains a vibrant and well-maintained community space. |
