Spitalfields City Farm

Who we are

Spitalfields City Farm is a free-entry, urban oasis located a stone’s throw from the City of London that offers a unique and creative natural environment for all to enjoy. We are based in Tower Hamlets, an inner London borough located in the east of London that struggles with poverty and issues of inequality.

Our vision is to create a space for all, that empowers people to make positive change to their lives, our community, and the planet. 

We will have an impact in three specific areas: 

Education: Creating connections with nature through sustainable farming practices, for the benefit of people and the environment. 

Community: Growing a community we want to be part of. 

Wellbeing: Improving the wellbeing, quality of life and life chances of our community. 

The change we want to see is: 

Education: Creating environmentally knowledgeable and action-orientated communities who are stewards for the future, by providing inspiring educational experiences. 

Community: Creating a welcoming space for people of all communities to come together, cultivate, grow and learn. 

Wellbeing: Creating an environment for our community to build on their strengths, so that together we can address variations in people's opportunities for a healthy life. 

Our values are: 

Openness: We will be transparent, welcome opinion, ideas and viewpoints.

Credibility: We will make sure we have the skills and expertise to deliver services. 

Integrity: We will act with integrity, working in the best interests of the community 

Responsibility: We will take care of and enhance the land that has been entrusted to us.
