Holy Trinity, Barnes, want to develop the land around their church as a place of sanctuary and hospitality for both local people and nature.

They are working to turn their memorial garden into a welcoming green space, rich in natural biodiversity. They have also created a community garden, where they grow organic vegetables together, using no-dig methods, to supply the local foodbank. In their first season, they have harvested nearly 40kg of veg from their raised beds to date. They work with other growers in the area too, to get their surplus produce to those who need it most.

They also run a microbakery, which operates as a separate social enterprise. The income from sales of bread supports their work supplying the foodbank with fresh loaves each a week and our community garden.
