LOCAL COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Vegbox
VEGBOX is a community-led organic vegetable box scheme empowering our community to connect with great-tasting organic veg and fruit sourced from small-scale farms near London. We are proud to be a cooperative, committed to making our food system more sustainable, offering affordable prices and paying our farmers and staff fairly.
Bags are delivered once a week to a range of 15 collection points, bringing organic produce at affordable prices to our local community.
VEGBOX currently connects nearly 400 members in the Kentish Town, Camden Town, Tufnell Park, Dartmouth Park, Gospel Oak, Belsize Park, Holloway, King’s Cross and Clerkenwell areas with growers and producers from farms as near to London as possible.

Play Streets
London Play works with local people anywhere in the capital to promote, support and improve play opportunities for children in their communities. We want to make sure that every child in London has the chance to play outside daily, near to where they live, be that on the street, in their local park or adventure playground. We will support anyone who shares this vision to make it a reality.
