Building an empowered, connected and skilled network of food growers in Lambeth
The Lambeth Food Growing Network is a diverse, eclectic and vibrant collection of people, consisting of over 120 groups, on housing estates, schools and community spaces across the borough.
IEL is working with network members to co-design a 5-year programme of upskilling workshops and networking events, thanks to generous funding from the City Bridge Foundation. Lambeth growers will gain more opportunities to connect with each other, share skills and resources, and contribute to the future direction of the network.
We have employed a Network Manager, Charlotte Dove, to build relationships with Lambeth’s growing groups, research their needs, and co-design an upskilling programme. If you’re a Lambeth growing space and you’d like to get involved, please contact charlotte.dove@
