Bethnal Green Nature Reserve Trust was set up to support local residents who reclaimed a bombsite, creating a greenspace with woodland, meadow, mushroom farm, herb garden and wetlands in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Managed by the community as a green community hub, the charity's aim is to provide quality learning opportunities, community integration, increased social connection and contact with nature. Activities include: Forest Schools; peer-led learning; wildlife walks and social prescribing referrals from their local GP practice for individuals with poor mental health.
Trusthouse awarded a Small Grant of £8,000 of the salary costs to sustain the Site Manager role.
