A garden oasis bringing people together to be healthy and happy
Calthorpe is a friendly space where everyone is welcome to meet, get active, grow, and feel part of a community. For over 40 years, we’ve been helping people look after their physical and mental well-being while making the neighbourhood greener and more sustainable.
Open seven days a week, we offer sports, gardening, creative and cultural activities - giving people a chance to connect, learn new skills, and support each other. At Calthorpe, we look after both our community and the environment.
We’re just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross – and we look forward to welcoming you soon!

The Role of Trustees:
As a charity, Calthorpe Community Garden is governed by a Board of Trustees responsible for overseeing our work and ensuring we achieve our objectives. Trustees provide strategic leadership, help to shape our vision, and ensure we are operating in a way that aligns with our mission.
Trustees will be responsible for:
Providing strategic oversight and guidance to the operational team.
Ensuring the charity complies with legal and regulatory requirements.
Safeguarding the charity’s assets and finances.
Promoting and upholding the values and ethos of the Centre.
Supporting fundraising and community outreach initiatives.
Acting as an ambassador for CCG within the wider community.
The Board typically meets at least quarterly. Trustees are expected to attend these meetings, engage in discussions, and take part in sub-committees or working groups relevant to their areas of expertise.
