We will look to support The Friends of Albert Recreation Ground (alias FARRG is a voluntary not for profit community group made up of local residents working for the whole community.) The Group was founded in 2001 by a number of local volunteers with a keen interest in delivering improvements and involving the local community in its future. Meeting Emma

We will help widen the paths by clearing the over growing grass. Meet at the cafe inside the park. We can look at coordinating a run from a nearby location. Please make a comment below if interested. (limited numbers for SD) Maybe run from Ally Pally?

We will look to remove concreted-in bins at Stephens House and Gardens that are not doing a very good job.

It will be hard physical work. Tools will be provided.

The park was gifted by 'Inky ' Stephens for the people of Finchley and is a wonderful resource for local people. It is held in trust and relies on volunteers.

Finchley Way Open Space Exciting new open space development in Finchley. Creating paths we hope to see a transformation from impenetrable bush to accessible woodland. Includes path creation planting and general gardening.

Come, help and learn some of the history of this unique site that has been left to the people of Finchley.

This was the site of Brent Lodge house and garden, built in 1810, owned by Mr F A Hamilton from 1865 until 1902. Brent Lodge was put up for sale in 1907 with an estate of 26 acres. It was then a substantial mansion described as “in the Italian style”. The house and gardens were the site of an early 20th century experiment in co-operative housekeeping pioneered by Alice Melvin, a Finchley resident and supporter of the garden cities movement. It was later demolished and the site was given over as green space. It is now being developed by the local community. (charity)

Please meet at the entrance to The Green Field in Finchley Way, N31AG. Contacts Alan and Suzanne Friends of Finchley Way Please wear boots and bring gardening gloves. All welcome.

We will be doing gardening and clearing for this green space in Preparation for a community event on the 5th of July. Cutting back shrubs and trees.

The aim of the centre is to help communities build a future of their choosing. They have a specialism in creating safe spaces for vulnerable young people, in particular that means having the experts to listen to people and helping them thrive. The vision is that this becomes the heart of the community, providing a secure, culturally diverse and accessible space that is valued by locals.
