A huge thank-you to everyone who came along to help keep our neighbourhood looking great. We had 17 wonderful volunteers out today, and together we filled at least 19 bags of rubbish — an amazing effort! It’s always lovely to see new faces alongside our regulars, and to know that so many people care about keeping Balham clean and green. 💚

It’s with great sadness that we lost Jane Goodal It’s with great sadness that we lost Jane Goodall last week. 
Her work and endless combat to protect and restore nature and planet Earth was an inspiration to us all. She was one of the true conservation giants of our time who has hopefully inspired others to follow in her footsteps.
We need more Jane Goodall’s as we strive to move away from fossil fuels and the destruction of nature that surrounds us.
