Community at the Core.

How we started

The Beginning.

The long history of the Hope Gardens W10 project proceeds its current standing. In 2012 Marcia Robinson set out to create a group for the residents of RBKC, that would facilitate weekly group Talk Talk sessions under the company Just solutions 123.

2. Who it was for.

The group was for residents that felt the lack of community needing a safe comfortable space. There was no need for GP referrals, as Marcia always welcomed residents with her open-door policy. Residents from all parts of the borough often spoke on how this is what was missing from modern day society.

3. Where was it.

Whilst most sessions were hosted by the Barlby road community centre Dalgarno Trust, the group often frequented different establishments across the borough. These talk talk sessions become a comforting community hub for many members as they looked forward to their weekly sessions.

4. How Hope Gardens came about.

In 2017 after the Horrific events that would forever be stamped in our hearts, Marcia saw the need for a similar but more engaging project. The group started as Trees 4 Grenfell under the umbrella of Just Solutions 123 but due to a need for company restructuring, it has blossomed into the project we now know and love Hope Gardens W10.

5. HGW10 Today

Hope Gardens W10 has supported the local and wider community through country wide initiatives and has partnered with many different projects across the United Kingdom to spread the love of community. Hope Gardens W10 is a beacon of hope and has been supported through sponsorship of many different funders. (see Funders Thank you page)

6. Thank you.

With all of this, the Hope Garden W10 Project could not and would not be where it is today without the support of the community and hard work and dedication of its volunteers.
