Space and Inclusion

WGT successfully delivers a range of educational and training opportunties on the Waterloo Millennium Green and other sites in North Lambeth (including social housing estates) to encourage community engagement and interest in the environment. The majority of these activities specifically target children, young people and marginalised communities in the local area. Some activities are open to all.

WGT works in partnership with local businesses through the evolving Business Improvement District and South Bank Employers Group to deliver activities on the Waterloo Millennium Green and promote the local economy.
The activities include:

After school gardening clubs and specific environmental educational events with local school children.
Food growing projects with local organisations such as The WAC Bangladeshi women and seniors group.
Environmental education sessions on Waterloo Millennium Green with local schools
