Sydenham Garden Resource Centre (Updated May 2026)

Political Activities and Campaigning:

We do not hire our spaces for party political activities, including campaigning on behalf of political parties or candidates in elections, or party-political fundraising events.

We welcome community groups, advocacy organisations, and campaigns whose work supports our charitable purposes of promoting physical and mental health, environmental protection, education, and creative expression.

Activities and Organisations We Do Not Hire Our Spaces To:

We reserve the right to decline bookings from individuals or organisations whose activities, in the sole opinion of Sydenham Garden, could conflict with our values and legal obligations. This includes:

• Organisations or events that discriminate against people based on protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 (race, religion or belief, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, age, pregnancy/maternity, marriage/civil partnership)
• Groups that promote hatred, intolerance, or violence toward any protected group
• Activities that undermine equality, dignity, or safety for any protected group
• Organisations whose primary activities cause significant environmental or other harm
• Activities that could reasonably harm the mental or physical wellbeing of our community or other space users

Our commitment:

We are committed to being a safe, inclusive, and accessible space for all members of our community, including people who are from marginalised and minoritised identities.
