Westferry Estate
Westferry Estate
Westferry estate on the Isle of Dogs is managed by EastendHomes and is fortunate in having three communal garden areas. Over the years a few local residents supported by the housing association, have worked hard to improve these sites, but they have yet to reach their potential and the majority remain underused and neglected.
Trees for Cities are working in partnership with EastEnd Homes, with local residents across the estate and the Tenants and Residents Association to rejuvenate the garden areas and kick start a community food growing initiative. The estate is populated by people of all ages and backgrounds and this project aims to bring people together for the benefit of their local environment.
This project is supported by News International, Help a London Child (95.8 Capital Radio) and EastEnd Homes. Trees for Cities relies on donations from individuals in order to deliver projects like the Westferry Estate project.
This project is part of RE:LEAF, a programme to ensure there is always one tree for every London resident - keeping pace with London's growing population. For further information see http://www.london.gov.uk/releaf-london
