About us:

London Parks & Gardens Trust is a small charity that seeks to:

• champion all London green space and make observations on planning proposals,
• celebrate the beauty, horticulture, history, ecology and value of green space, including through Open Garden Squares Weekend;
• cultivate knowledge and appreciation of London’s rich green infrastructure, and the people who create and care for it, including through lectures and guided walks.

The Role:

LPGT seeks an Administration and Membership Officer to join its team based in Central London. This is a varied role working with volunteers, to run a clean and efficient small office, including purchasing stationery. You will be responsible for coordinating large mail outs of guidebooks; supporting the ticketing of events; processing membership applications and renewals; helping volunteers run lectures; and providing daily contact for general enquiries. No two days are the same.

The Sharing Repton project is one of five national pilots funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund. LPGT worked in collaboration with English Heritage, The Gardens Trust, and three refugee groups to engage new audiences in the care and celebration of parks and gardens. This project took place in two parts, firstly at Kenwood House and then in Russell Square. This film shows part of the project that took place in Russell Square in May 2019. We created the film to show some of the potential benefits that derive from supporting the trust, whether through membership, donations, buying tickets to Open Garden Squares Weekend or other fund-raising events.
