Local Business and Corporate Support
To date, this support has been mainly on a local level through small gifts in kind from B&Q, Sainsburys, Provender and other local shops supporting our events.
Partners
Sydenham Garden has developed a strong network of informal and formal partners in its 5-year successful service delivery history.
With an established health professional referral network in place (20+ agencies), we continue to target those coping with illness locally and extend our capacity to support our clients already on programme and also work with other community groups to promote healthy eating, share good practice and raise awareness of food sustainability and environmental issues.
Friends of Sydenham Garden
Since 2002, the charity has developed a strong membership base, ‘Friends of Sydenham Garden’. We now have over 200 members from the local community who regularly donate funds and support the organisation in a variety of ways.
