TGC delivers nature connection activities to promote mental health to over 10,000 children in our north east London community who are experiencing one or more forms of disadvantage. Islington and Hackney are among the most unequal places to live in the UK, where the incredibly wealthy and most socio-economically deprived (43% and 38% Islington children live in poverty) live alongside each other.

We are very grateful to the Pixel Fund for supporting our Urban Forest School programme for the second time. Over the past two years, we’ve been able to extend outreach of our UFS programme to include schools who would not normally engage with us by being able to offer fully funded taster programmes.

Forest school is a programme that works with children in green spaces to develop personal, social and emotional life skills through learner led, hands on experiences. The Garden Classroom’s Urban Forest School programme aims to bring these vital benefits of to children who need them most. Working in areas of high deprivation, The Garden Classroom (TGC) works to make regular forest school sessions accessible to children who may otherwise not have the opportunity.
