Grow Wild

Grow wild is a nature/adventure play space, part of the Lloyd Park Children’s Charity based in Walthamstow, East London.

Grow Wild has been operational and serving the diverse range of children and their families for twelve years and counting, serving the complex needs of a community that is ever changing, in an area of increasing child poverty and deprivation, but also an area of diversity, possibility and positive change. However, we are now faced with the very real possibility of closure or staff loss for the site due to funding stream access, cut backs, and shortages. Due to this we are looking within an increasingly short space of time to keep the space open and accessible for the thousands of families locally and from afar who use and rely upon our space. Monies are needed to ensure essential repairs and maintenance to the site, so that our children from as young as four months to as old as ten years can use the site safely and with confidence, able to access risky and creative play in a busy urban area. Also, so staffing levels can be maintained so that the centre can continue to be open each and every day in all weathers, to best serve the needs of the community.

We are looking to raise £45,000 In order for the centre to maintain itself and regenerate funding for year 2025-26 revamping our services, mirroring the needs of our communities and families, beyond offering play, physical challenge and creativity, we provide a safe space for enabling social skills, improved mental wellbeing, independence and resilience.
