What we do:
Invisible Palace is a charity based in South East London that works to bring people from a range of backgrounds together through shared interests for collective activity. Through this approach communities of interest are able to share knowledge and shape their learning.

Activity is rooted in the story of the local area and people’s place within it. The current programme includes gardening, walks, visits, arts and crafts, and aerial arts for young people.

Why we do it:
People who live, work and study in the area surrounding Crystal Palace Park experience fragmented community services and a less cohesive sense of place as a result of its location at the meeting point of the boundaries of five London boroughs. Local heritage assets are perceived as a drain on resources rather than for the value they bring to people and what they mean to people. Cultural, heritage and environmental resources are not shared equally across the whole community resulting in a loss of value for both people and place.

Volunteers needed

We welcome volunteers from all parts of our local communities. Applicants with lived experience of wellbeing through arts, heritage, and collective activity are encouraged to apply.
