Anyone for tennis?

We have two all-weather courts available to hire for £5 an hour. By booking you can be guaranteed that the court will be free when you want to play. You can book online via our website for one-off sessions or get in touch by email if you’d like to reserve yourself a regular slot.

Gardening day success
A huge thanks to all you brilliant volunteers who came along to our community gardening day. We really showed the weeds who's boss! The beds look so much better and we had great fun working and chatting with you. We’ll be planning more sessions in future. Interested? Email Sara.

COMMUNITY NOTICEBOARD

Campaign: Camberwell Station
We love Camberwell but it’s not the easiest place to get to by public transport. That might change for the better if this new campaign led by Priority Action for Camberwell to re-open the historic railway station is successful. Find out more and sign the petition here.

Event: Lambeth Funders Fair
If you’re part of a local charity, community group or social enterprise and would like to meet funders and others who can support your organisation, don’t miss this event taking place at Kia Oval on 10th May. Free to attend but booking is advised so register for a ticket here.

Summer is coming - and so is our Fair!

Haven't we had gorgeous weather lately? We can't wait for our annual Summer Fair, happening this year on Saturday 17th June from 1 to 5pm. Save the date! There’ll be live music on the bandstand, a Big Lunch with delicious free food, served by Brixton People’s Kitchen, a children's fairground, fun activities run by local community groups and an inspiring Parade for Peace around the park at the end of the day. To find out more about the event or to book a stall (open to commercial or community organisations and individuals) or a table as part of the Big Lunch (community groups only), email Victoria.

Be a corporate volunteer
Looking for a hands-on team building day with your colleagues? Why not spend a day working with us? You'll help out with gardening and park maintenance - tasks will depend on what's required at that time of year - and we'll provide briefing, tools, equipment, refreshments, lunch and more. Email Sara for details.

Stay & Play
The Mulberry Preschool hosts free drop-in sessions for children aged 0-5 and their parents or carers every Monday, Thursday and Friday from 1-3.30pm. Have a cuppa and chat to other grown-ups, while the kids paint pictures, ride trikes and running around, making new friends.

Community gardening day

Head over to the cafe on Wednesday 19th April 10am to 1pm where we’ll be meeting up for a morning of community gardening. Help weed out the shrub beds and get them ready for summer. We’ll provide the tools and tea, all you need is a willing attitude! Let Sara know if you can come.
