Christmas Party 16th Dec

We would like to cordially invite you all to our Christmas Party on Thursday, 16th of December at 7pm.

Due to COVID, we are going to take a different approach this year: we are going to meet outdoors by the monkey puzzle tree at 7pm to sing a few carols. We are going to have hot mulled wine and mince pies for everybody, but they are going to be handed out one-by-one (no buffet this year). The event will be much shorter than in previous year.

The Quiet Garden | Sunday, 30 July, 3pm

On Sunday, 30 July, we will hold a fund raising event for the Helen Gladstone Garden from 3pm onwards (Surrey Row, corner Blackfriars Road).

Prosecco, scones and music.

Now that Southwark Council have sold off the green spaces belonging to the Helen Gladstone Maisonettes and Tower to private developers, we feel the remaining small garden deserves extra attention to give residents a quiet green space they can visit.

Please help support us, so we can make it a safe and beautiful place to come to.
