St Katharine Cree - A Garden That Brings People Together

A church with strong outreach to migrant and low-paid workers, campaigning for a living wage. Their garden had fallen into disrepair, and the grant was used to restore it and transform it into a welcoming community space. They now run drop-in community gardening sessions, which have evolved into an interfaith project in collaboration with a local synagogue
