Support Turf

Turf is Croydon’s homegrown artists charity. As young creatives we found a lack of space and opportunities locally, and so in 2013 decided to set up our own. 

Since then we’ve supported the work of over 550 artists through free exhibitions, workshops and low cost studio space, two collectives; MOSS (a collective of artists living with learning disabilities) and Art Press (a collective of local 14-21 year olds), a support programme for local students, family workshops & more.

Your support allows us to continue this work and ensure a creative legacy for Croydon.

Donate

Make a one-off or recurring donation of any amount here or drop into the gallery Wed-Sat 11-5pm.

Turf is registered for Gift Aid, meaning we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It will not cost you any extra. Email us to provide details to enable us to claim Gift Aid on your donation. Our Gift Aid number is EW35942.

Business?

We’ve been building community in Croydon since 2013, but we’re currently still working in short-term spaces. Currently we’re focusing on the future and trying to secure a permanent home which will help provide a creative legacy for Croydon for years to come. Are you a landowner, business or social investor who’d like to help? We’d love to hear from you.

We’d love to hear from likeminded businesses who’d be interested in supporting us with sponsorships of materials or services. We’re especially interested in working with businesses based locally in Croydon, so we can offer mutual support.

We offer creative, fun and unusual teambuilding workshops in our creative space in the heart of Croydon. Get in touch!
