The Creek and the natural habitat it supports is for everyone to enjoy.

We can only achieve this with your help.  You can show your support in many ways and help ensure that Deptford Creek and the surrounding habitats remain supported for future generations to enjoy.

We aim to inspire more people to better appreciate the natural habitats on their doorstep to create better environments for people and wildlife. 

Help us as a corporate supporter, or with a regular donation - or bring your team here for venue hire or a bespoke workshop or tour.

FAQs

What size group can we bring?

We can host between 6 and 20 people on each Workday

Is your building accessible?

Our building and grounds are step free. There is an accessible toilet. Our site is wheelchair accessible but you will need some assistance on rough surfaces outside. We are fundraising to improve these. We regret that Deptford Creek itself is not safely wheelchair accessible but we will aim to give you the best experience possible from land, including views of the river from the bridge and possible exploration of the pond area.

What is the cost of a corporate workday?

We charge £600 for a workday. This covers our planning and staffing costs, any materials needed on the day and a small donation to the running of our charity.

Can we hire a room to host a meeting?

We have a large meeting room that you can hire before or after the workday.

Is there parking at the Centre?

It is recommended that all our visitors use public transport as we have no parking on site. For accessibility needs parking can be made available by prior agreement only so please contact us directly to discuss this. There is free parking on nearby Frankham Street. Local rail and DLR stations are Greenwich and Deptford are there are several local bus routes to Creek Road and Deptford Church Street.
