Dandy Park Revival

Local families working to create permanent play space on dead end of street. Roads can be a place for our children with imagination & council support.

This is the land next to a community play space. Land owned by AA Homes & Housing/Ansari. Council took them to court after a yr of fires, squatting & drug dealing. Astonishingly court decided site is secure & tidy enough. The law is messed up. @JackHardy9 @robjfirth

Lovely visiting the beautiful Fourth Reserve today and seeing the fantastic work they are doing.

We also spoke about Gorne Wood, I know how important it is. I’ll be writing to the developers urging them to sell the land at a fair price, and I’ll keep backing the local campaign.

We see councils all over the UK trying their best to plant more trees, but with dwindling budgets and other pressing issues, we understand why tree planting can get pushed down the list. That's where we step in.

Your sponsorship ensures that councils can plant more trees - and you even get a say on where it goes! 🌳

Foxborough Gardens residents celebrated the restoration of two William Mitchell murals in the entrances of two six-storey housing blocks on the estate. The murals, date from 1960, are important examples of London County Council supported works of art. https://t.co/TcgIXwO4lY

Plant just one tree, and we all benefit, from young to old. Research has found that trees can:

🤰 Improve pregnancy outcomes
✏️ Help children thrive in school
🤕 Reduce recovery time
🧠 Lower the risk of dementia

Lewisham council has finally launched its search for a new partner to restore and “secure the future” of  the Grade II listed Playtower after Guildmore’s efforts to develop the landmark building stalled. Read more https://t.co/awellOFuIZ

We work with councils across the UK so residents can be empowered to green up their neighbourhoods and their favourite parks ☀️

Here's what one park tree sponsor, Jade, had to say: "It's a small part of keeping an area you live in thriving and green" 🌳🌲

Do you know what it is?

A sharp rise in staff and rental costs threatens Ladywell Pre-School nursery on Rushey Mead with closure. Its loss would be a devastating blow for local children, parents and carers. Read more https://t.co/LluLszTqaj

Children are #MadeToMove, their clothing should be too! We’re proud to be part of the #ActiveUniformAlliance, a group of organisations calling for all primary schools to adopt an always-active uniform, enabling children to move, play and learn all day. https://t.co/Hcy9W8Q9h4

[London Play @londonplay]

Word! This is what children say when you ask them why #adventureplaygrounds are special and different to fixed equipment playgrounds typically found in parks and on housing estates. Staff/workers. Fun, varied play activities. Friends. Safety. @CfYoungLives @Paul_Lindley

Trees are vital for carbon capture, but what does that really mean?

Leaves on growing trees trap carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and keep hold of it until the tree dies. Carbon capture is just one of the ways trees are an incredible tool for cleaner air and greener environments 🌳🌳
