On Monday 25th November we welcomed Children in Need staff along with a group of volunteers from The London Committee who support them in their decisions for grant funding throughout London. We gave them a tour of The Farm, showing them how we utilise their funding to provide educational opportunities for young people in our community and talking about the impact our programmes have.

Here's a snap of them with Bryony the cow, and feeding our Alpaca's.

If you want to elevate your gift, book a Animal Meet & Greet experience with your adopted animal, or any of the other animals on The Farm.

Purchasing an Animal Adoption and/or Meet and Greet is a great way to support The Farm, our animals, and all that we do.

It costs us roughly £60,000 a month to run the entire farm, so it really does help!

🎉 We have just celebrated a decade of transformation!🎉 The Farm has celebrated a decade-long partnership which has seen hundreds of thousands of pounds raised for essential services and refurbishments.

Vauxhall City Farm and St James, part of the Berkeley Group, celebrated 10 years since the launch of the Berkeley Foundation Community Partnership (BCFP), which has generated a total of £325,000 in contributions.

To mark the milestone, staff members from both organisations gathered at The Farm to plant a tree in The Farms eco garden.

Glen Walker, chair of Vauxhall City Farm said: “St James and the Berkeley Foundation have been exemplary funders, not only raising an extraordinary amount but also trusting us to allocate resources where they are needed most.

We have had the pleasure of welcoming numerous staff volunteers to help maintain our facilities, and we are fortunate to have recruited two Trustees from the company, who have provided us with invaluable expertise and governance. We cannot thank them enough for their investment in our community.”

We are a charity which provides educational, recreational and therapeutic support programmes for our Lambeth community. The Farm welcomes around 60,000 visitors come through its gates each year and costs £58,000 a month to run.

Funds raised by the BCFP have supported the farm’s ability to provide its vital community services for the past decade.

The partnership has also enabled the charity to develop a new green space where community groups now learn about gardening and sustainability, with educational programmes teaching younger people about the journey from farm to fork.

Dean Summers, managing director at St James said: “We hope and trust that Vauxhall City Farm will continue to provide a wonderful environment for its animals and a unique offering to Lambeth residents.”

Thank you Berkeley Foundation ❤️ 🐐 🐇 💐
