215Fund: supporting Friends of Windmill Gardens

As part of our #215Fund, Connection Crew is donating 28 hours of skilled support to the Friends of Windmill Gardens (FoWG). We’ll support the set-up its Beer and Bread Festival taking place Bank Holiday Monday 7th May.

But the impact will go much further than that.  Margarita Ktoris, Marketing Manager explains:

“We’re looking forward to supporting the annual Beer and Bread Festival at the iconic Brixton Windmill, literally a stone’s throw from Connection Crew HQ. It’s organised by the FoWG, a local charity led entirely by volunteers.”

“Local people giving up their time to put on events, workshops and tours that boost community cohesion in an area where 1 in 3 children are born into poverty. We think it’s incredibly inspiring.”

“And this is a big year for the FoWG; while our team set-up and take-down key elements of the festival the volunteers will be free to engage with the audience and raise awareness and funds for the fit out of a new education centre that is being built at the windmill.”
