Hammersmith Community Gardens Association (HCGA) is a local enviromental charity set up in 1984. We work with people of all ages. We run schools and family enviromental play schemes, provide volunteering opportunities maintaining 8 green spaces and also run health and well being projects aimed at disadvantaged people. We currently work in 4 boroughs H&F, RBKC Westminster and Ealing.
Our ethos is very much focused around environmental sustainability and improving people's skills and self esteem in a positive supportive environment. We work with approximately 60 volunteers on a regular weekly basis and for large tasks we run a corproate volunteering programme.
As a well established project we also provide advice, support and mentor other community groups through site visits and our regualr professional tours. Details of all our programmes and work can be found at www.hcga.org.uk
