Capital Growth Member Survey 2026

Help us paint a picture of community food growing in London

We want to get a better sense of what's going on in London’s food growing scene: the challenges you are facing, the successes and the people who use and benefit from your site.
This survey is also an opportunity to tell us what's working well in the support we provide, where you need additional help, and what you would like us to focus on in the future so we can better support you and other food-growing projects across London.

Your response is confidential, so we'll only share collated data, not individual information. All information will be kept private and held securely by Sustain. By submitting this information you are agreeing to the use of your data in accordance with our privacy policy and also letting us use anonymised quotes from your answers in any reports we may publish.
