Wilderness to Wonderland sponsors
Staff at Your Move Margate were pleased to welcome the team from Margate’s Wilderness to Wonderland community garden project.
Your Move Margate Director Patrick McDonnell said: “We are very pleased to sponsor this local community project that really improves not only the local environment but also helps the local community.”
Lettings Manager Juliette Malagodi said: “Its great to see our sponsorship making a real difference in the Margate community, the projects that really bring people together”
Wilderness to Wonderland is proud to be able to give residents, visitors, and traders the opportunity to work together to provide community gardens to be enjoyed by all creatures great and small.
Since covid the world has changed demanding us all to discover new ways to build communities to care for each other, the environment and promote inclusion and diversity.
Margate is a seaside town with rich heritage, dynamic volunteers, proud residents – and you’ve guessed it – a council that is strapped for cash.
Wilderness to Wonderland has a workforce of dedicated volunteers worth £40,000pa, a two year reputation creating and maintaining community wonderlands and we have been well supported by charities, Justgiving, local nurseries and institutions to get this far.
Thanks to Your Move Charterhouse and The Bike Shed Westbrook we have at last secured our first two local sponsors which will make our goals achievable and sustainable.
It is inspirational when the public show their support with kind words / Justgiving gifts and when local business value our contribution to the Margate’s eclectic brand by sponsoring our civic pride endeavours.

The concert will be held in the grade II* listed heritage synagogue off Dumpton Park Drive, a delight in nineteenth century architecture.
