Our Services
Welcome to the cycle of community empowerment that is My Yard. A place where everyone matters and everyone is welcome. Here’s how the My Yard community brings Harrow residents together to share and redistribute surplus food, connect and care for one another. You can view what charity services we have available below.
The Market
- Our vans deliver regular market-style food stalls for registered My Yard members.
- We listen to the issues troubling people & brainstorm for solutions.
- Covering Grange Farm estate, Pinner Grove Estate and Douglas Bader Estate amongst others.
‘Our community saves 1 ton of surplus food from landfill every week!’
Do you need extra food support or want to get involved?
Change Makers
- Develop new skills working in your community.
- Get fit, speak out & be heard.
- Celebrate your talents and learn new ones.
‘In January 2022, the Change Makers published their first photobook, shot on Kodak disposables, capturing their lives. It featured in Dazed Magazine.’
