We'll design and plan two community-led award-winning edible gardens/green gyms at our museum; one at street level and one as a roof garden - creating well-being outside spaces for community projects

We will create two community 'edible' gardens for our Museum. We will work with 250 local people to shape our plans and we will take up to 50 of those people forward as the community delivery team. The delivery team will receive training across a range of skills necessary to plan and deliver a garden capital project. We will work with the wider community to help design and plan our community gardens and create our 'green gym' legacy project. The first community garden will be the street level garden, which will be the 'pilot' project and the second garden will be the green roof, which will be a more complex proposal, but will be informed by the street-level pilot. The aim is to work with the community to create something that is good for the environment and for well-being but is something they want, which they will use, for decades to come.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The Cinema Museum is situated at the heart of the regeneration of Elephant & Castle and Walworth. The changes for local people have not all been easy and we want to help pepper the area of regeneration with spaces that people feel positive about - and spaces that make people feel positive about themselves. Our work with the community indicates that they want local spaces that: are accessible to them; enhance public space; improve the environment and air quality; offer opportunity for training and skills; offer opportunity for local people to come together, socialise and create. The Museum wants to share its heritage spaces with local people and work with them to create a really special set of gardens that deliver on all of the above. We'd LOVE to win a place at Chelsea - and we will go for it - but if the project delivers two beautiful community gardens that people will love and want to tend, (and in the process involve lots of local people in developing new skills, we'll be happy).

VolunteerThe Cinema Museum (TCM) in Kennington, South London has been running for over 35 years and has been in its current location for over 19 years. Our collection is of national and international importance; we are supported by some of the biggest names in the UK film industry and by the Los Angeles film and production community – however, we also see ourselves as a local community asset and are keen to play our part in improving the wellbeing and lifestyles of Lambeth and Southwark residents. We believe that alongside the heritage of buildings, the heritage of cinema can be something of significant practical value and we strive to ensure that the Museum has the maximum possible benefit on people’s wellbeing. The charity uses its building and its collections entirely for the benefit of people; we have a local ‘wellbeing offer’ and our business model has been based on the 5 ways to wellbeing since 2008. We are a centre for the support of the elderly and infirm and their carers and we are a community hub, with reminiscence therapy being a feature off our cinema-based work. We have created a space that both challenges and cherishes our visitors - helping them develop their technical, social, creative and problem-solving skills - and we have a passion for securing its long-term sustainability. We are committed to our local community and to improving the lives and the wellbeing of the people of Lambeth and Southwark. We also see the Museum playing a strong role as an agent of ‘place-making’ for the new Elephant & Castle development master plan – we bring a treasure trove of artefacts, memories, experiences, events, screenings, celebrity supporters and educational and therapeutic programmes. Our day-to-day work keeps people’s cinema-related stories alive and ensures the next generation of cinema and film makers are developed and supported; we work actively with our local and national university partners to educate young people and help them find rewarding work in: the film, cinema, museums, libraries and archive sectors – training some 350 students each year.
