PLACES
The Community Brain has a number of spaces and facilities within the borough of Kingston for communities to realise their dreams and ideas.
TOLWORTH STATION
Baking Ideas
A frequent complaint we hear is a lack of community meeting places in Tolworth. Thanks to SW Railways we have taken a lease on the shop unit at Tolworth station.
Newly refurbished, Baking Ideas includes a community kitchen and meeting space and will be open to anyone who wants to use it. Perhaps someone with a business idea operating out of their home kitchen and wants to scale up, a local group teaching people how to cook healthily or a local school/community group needing cooking facilities.
There is also a meeting space for up to 20 people.
Kingston Road, KT5 9NX
The Cutting
Following on from the launch of Baking Ideas, The Community Brain has recently leased a piece of overgrown land to the rear of the unit from South Western Railways and Network Rail.
Starting in 2021, we have been turning this disused space into a wildlife and herb garden for the benefit of local residents and would love to hear from anyone who might like to be involved and can help shape ideas for the space...
We hold regular volunteer gardening sessions from 10am - 12pm every Tuesday.
Get in touch at:
TOLWORTH MAIN ALLOTMENTS
King Charles Road, next to Alexandra Park, Surbiton
The Farm of Futures
Tolworth Main Allotments, King Charles Road, next to Alexandra Recreation Ground, Surbiton
Located on the entrance of the Tolworth Allotments, this project involves the conversation of the abandonded Tolworth District Society Allotments building into community hub which promotes sustainable growth and food production, and offers workshop space. The Farm of Futures is a collaboration with 121 Collective, a local Design & Build collective.
The space currently includes an aquaponics system, bee hives, and raised planters, with aims to create green communal space into something that can be sustainable for the community and ambitions to transform what is now a large storage shed into a creative and educational facility
