• Salusbury World Crowdfunder – Result

    Salusbury World is a registered charity supporting refugee and migrant children, young people and families rebuild hopeful, fulfilling lives in London. They started work in Brent in 1999. 

    They provide immediate crisis support – through basics like food parcels and phone cards, and help with welfare benefits, immigration issues and homelessness – and long-term support so refugees and asylum-seekers develop the skills and confidence to thrive in London. Their support is personalised and integrated. They also offer an advice service, after-school and homework clubs, educational mentoring for teenagers, holiday programmes and a women’s project. 

    Salusbury World has reached something of a pinch point with an exponential rise in the demand for their services at a time of serious financial constraint and is in danger of closure in 2024 without your generous support.

    The Crowdfunder is now over. 

    You can go to https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-refugees-now to see the result.

    Their website is at https://salusburyworld.org.uk/ . You can get information about their activities and how you can support them.

  • Woodland Walk Consultation

    In early September we asked you to please complete and return the online questionnaire from the City of London about the expansion and revival of the Woodland Walk in the Park and some other Park features.

    The City’s consultants were initially concerned that the response rate was rather low, but the response rate picked up and was good.

    These are QPARA proposals from 21/22 to restore wildlife diversity by making the Walk area self-contained and moving the circular path to its original position round the edge of the pitch and putt course.

    There is more information on this website at: https://www.qpark.org.uk/woodland-walk/
