How we've helped
Forest School has given the Year 6’s a fantastic opportunity to explore the world beyond the classroom. It has been a challenging couple of years where these opportunities have often been missed. Forest School provides an escape, where they can run, laugh and be with nature. It is always a highlight of their week and will be memories for them for years to come.

My partner and I volunteered at the Covid vaccination clinics at the Jenner medical practice. We found the opportunity via an email from Lewisham Local. We have made many new friends and contacts as a result, giving us immense satisfaction and I have got to practise my French and Spanish too!

Without the Friday Fundraising zooms, we would not have the knowledge required to be able to apply for anything and for this we are very grateful for the time that was given pointing us in the right direction and pointing out the facts that are required.
