About us
Lambeth GP Food Co-op
We are a co-operative of patients, doctors, nurses, and Lambeth residents who grow food together.
Since 2013, we have built gardens in GP surgeries and hospital settings designed to support patients with long-term health conditions to learn how to grow food and, by doing so, improve their health and wellbeing. Our aim is to make a significant contribution to improving the lives of local people living with multiple long-term conditions and the sustainability of the health and social care system.
