A commitment to the future.

Grow to Know was born following the devastating Grenfell Tower fire, where 72 residents of the West London tower block lost their lives in 2017.

Grenfell was the catalyst for a guerrilla gardening movement in the subsequent days, weeks and months, as locals took to the streets in search of relief and answers to one of the most tragic and preventable disasters this nation has seen.

Grow to Know would emerge as a not-for-profit in 2020—founded as a personal response to the tragedy, and an unwavering commitment to future generations, by Tayshan Hayden-Smith. Grow to Know is now re-established as a campaign-led, community-centred changemaking collective—catalysing local, national and global joy and justice through its work.
