Volunteer comments:

Volunteering here is often the highlight of the week.

I've been working with the group for almost 2 years and I find it lovely to take care of the green spaces and also create friendships in the area.

Passer-by comments:

Superb - good work! Brightens up the palace experience - lovely addition - thank you!!

I love this community garden. It always cheers me up when I pass it. I love the selection of plants and the countryside feel it gives.

About Invisible Palace

Location:

23 Dulwich Wood Avenue, London, Greater London SE19 1HB, GB

Mission Statement

Invisible Palace creates activities which are active and practical, with an emphasis on experiential learning that is rooted in the story of the local area and people’s place within it. The work of Invisible Palace takes a participant led approach, with the small team developing and running activities championing the needs of those taking part and creating programmes which respond to this need on a local and individual level. People are brought together in a community of interest rather than having their demographic background or life stage be the main factor in defining them.

Description

Invisible Palace is a charity based in South East London which brings people from a whole range of backgrounds together through shared interests for collective activity. Working across the five boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, in the neighbourhoods that surround Crystal Palace Park.
