Invisible Palace

Making a difference for people and places through inclusive heritage and arts projects

Here's what we do: ~~The Boundaries project, with targeted support for elders, young people and people with learning disabilities, involved 22 organisations and engaged 172 local people who volunteered 987 hours. Activities ranged from research, walks and visits to a performance event and capital works project transforming the Boundaries gate entrance to Crystal Palace Park. ~~The Meeting Place project continued to bring volunteers together for free social and cultural activities including gardening sessions, music, walks, talks and art. ~~Defy Gravity project took place in summer 2019 with workshops inspired by the cultural and sporting heritage of Crystal Palace Park. Year 5 pupils took part in circus arts at Crystal Palace subway, skateboarding and parkour at the new Crystal Palace Skatepark and rock climbing at the National Sports Centre. All elements came together for a public day of heritage, circus arts and sport with over 700 people coming along to try something different.

Why the community needs us

Invisible Palace volunteers have worked hard over the last 18 months to maintain the flower beds at the corner of Crystal Palace Parade and Anerley Hill, otherwise known at the Vicar's Oak or the Boundaries Gate.

Our impact on the community

We would like to thank the National Lottery Heritage Fund, London Borough of Bromley, Crystal Palace Community Trust, National Lottery Community Fund, Culture Seeds from Mayor of London and local business Eastern Cuisine for support on these projects. Additional support will help us to develop future projects.
