The garden provides a huge range of community gardening, development and social activities for local people to enjoy, including 54 allotment plots.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £37,216, reducing its net assets to £20,082.

The charity intends to continue on a volunteer basis in the short term.
What the accounts disclose
“The net assets are split into unrestricted funds of £5,765 (2023 - £27,125) and restricted funds of £14,317 (2023 - £30,173).” — page 4
“At the year end the charity's surplus of funds was not sufficient to cover another years worth of expenses and significant new funding would be required for it to continue in its current format. Unfortunately this has not been possible and at this time the charity's activities are being scaled down and all staff have been made redundant. We are hoping to continue the charity on a volunteer basis.” — page 4
