About Bankside Open Spaces Trust:
Bankside Open Spaces Trust is an environmental and volunteering charity. We were set up in
2000 by a group of local people with an aim to improve the SE1 area, making it a greener, more
beautiful place to live and work.
We manage and maintain open spaces, welcome volunteers from both the community and the
corporate sector, run regular gardening groups, support park steering groups, organise and
take part in public events and educational projects, and offer advice to others. We collaborate
closely with local residents and businesses to champion green spaces.
Thousands of people enjoy our open spaces every day. Each of our sites is unique, with its own
atmosphere, identity and sense of place. Our spaces include Red Cross Garden, Marlborough
Sports Garden, Waterloo Millennium Green and Tate Community Garden. Our spaces have
won more than 32 awards, including the UNESCO Man and Biosphere award, London in Bloom
Champion of Champions and the MPGA London Spade for our community gardening
partnerships.

None of our work would be possible without our incredible staff, volunteers and trustees. We
are partnered with numerous community organisations, housing associations, educational and
health organisations, landowners and funders who have worked with us over the years and
their continued support is what makes Bankside Open Spaces Trust what it is today.
