Looking forward to hearing more about the work of the 900 Park Friends Groups are doing across London to help preserve the capital's green spaces & increase community access and participation #CPRELondon
First @ClaptonAlice opens by giving a potted history of CPRE London's work with Friends of Parks groups across London and its Friends of Parks network #CPRELondon

The report aims to improve understandings of #daycentres among social care/health professionals & potential collaborators. It showcases the complexity of these services & their diversity, shedding light on what makes them multi-faceted ‘interventions’. 2/6

Not so long after #ASuitableBoy came out I first met #VikramSeth autographing copies at #Blackwells at #Oxford. When my turn came he asked where I was from. I told him. He warmed up - he was already fairly jovial with those present - & told me how he learnt Urdu for the novel 1/
that he loved Urdu poetry & wished to visit Pakistan. He wrote a couple of sentences in Urdu on my copy. Turned out he was an alumnus of #corpuschristi which I was attending & which had recently made him Honorary Fellow. I asked him for an interview which he very graciously 2/

Urban footpaths are always intriguing...
This one takes me out onto The Green - part of an early Addison council housing scheme (thanks to @MunicipalDreams for the help with identification). We think that the crest in the third photo is for Malden and Coombe Urban District Council - can any local historians confirm?
We're rolling out a new scheme to provide every primary and secondary school in #Wandsworth and #Merton with an emergency asthma kit, which is believed to be the first initiative of its kind in London.

The scheme, which is in conjunction with the Wandsworth and Merton Children’s Asthma Board, was devised to ensure that all state schools in the area have an emergency asthma kit available to them, and is part of a drive to improve asthma awareness and education.
