Heath Hands at Keats

We have been involved in helping maintain the gardens at Keats for many years. Our dedicated volunteers help look after green space for the enjoyment of all.

From 2024 Heath Hands took responsibility for coordinating the overall maintenance of the garden from the City of London Corporation, signing a partnership agreement.
