Three reasons to join one of the UK’s biggest-ever seed sowing campaigns:

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew have teamed up with Lemos & Crane to share thousands of free seed kits so groups around the country can transform their local spaces into beautiful, inspiring and colourful wild flower havens.

We’re now part of one of the UK’s biggest-ever seed sowing campaigns, helping to create over one million square metres of wild flowers.

1. The exclusive seed kits are designed to help your group/s grow beautiful, colourful wild flowers, which will be a haven for bees, birds and butterflies. As well as the fun of sowing the seeds, there’s the added bonus of enhancing your health and creativity.

2. Your group/s will benefit from getting outside to enjoy some healthy outdoor activity, learning new skills and showing how it’s possible to make a real difference to where you live.

3. It’s a great way of bringing a bit more wildness into our lives as well as helping to improve wellbeing for all those who live in your area with a boost of nature.

Registration closes at midnight on 14 February 2016! http://www.lemosandcrane.co.uk/home/index.php?id=237793

Come along and see this exhibition of research CASS students have completed on the elements of the community that is encompassed in the new Opportunity Area around the Old Kent Road. Discuss with the students, hear their views on how the area might change and identify those things you want to keep as part of conserving the existing community. This is an interesting piece of work that will get you thinking and help you understand the business, retail, restaurants, green spaces and varied housing that makes up this vibrant part of London.

The exhibition will be inspiration in thinking about ways forward on how to engage with the Council and developers, as well as provide invaluable data for funding applications.

I hope to see you there.

Women's A5 flyer_Final

Street Elite is an employability programme for young women and girls aged 16 to 24 living in the borough of Southwark which uses sport, mentoring and community engagement to help raise aspirations and increase employability with genuine exit routes into employment. Participants get a free tracksuit and they get paid to turn up. The initial commitment is just for 2 hours 1 night a week.

I have attached a flyer for the programme and would be extremely grateful if you could distribute to young people within your network and other colleagues you think that you think would be appropriate.

Kind regards,

Lisa Cole

TFL would like your views on the proposed Ultra Low Emission Zone which would operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the same area as the Congestion Charging zone.

All cars, motorcycles, vans, minibuses, and heavy vehicles would need to meet a new emission standard or pay a daily charge to travel within the zone. The proposed daily Ultra Low Emission Zone charge would be in addition to the existing Congestion Charge.

The zone would be introduced from 2020 and aims to encourage the use of newer, cleaner vehicles, reducing vehicle pollution by half.

To find out more and to have your say, please visit

tfl.gov.uk/ultra-low-emission-zone

This consultation ends on Friday 9 January 2015
