This is an ideal opportunity to become involved in one of the hidden treasures of London. Covering 1.5 acres of land,

Promote emotional, mental, social and physical wellbeing
Develop environmental awareness and action
Strengthen community cohesion

As a small charitable organisation that aspires to grow, this also provides an opportunity for someone to benefit from
personal and professional development.
Vauxhall City Farm is open 5 days a week including weekends, and is free to access.

responsible for ensuring these principles are adhered to throughout every stage of café design and day to day
operations. They will work closely with the Senior Management team to create a consistent educational message for
