News and events


At our AGM on 27 November 2023 we agreed to set up another fundraiser linked to our forthcoming Carols in the Square event - helping to support local families in need at Christmas (through the Kennington Association's Secret Santa appeal). If you're able to donate even a small amount that would be wonderful. Every penny goes direct to the families in the form of vouchers. Here's the link:

A big thank you to everyone who helped out at our recent autumn rake up/clean up on 7 October  in the square and local streets, and with pruning, clearing and bulb planting on Charlie's Patch in Bowden Street.  Some of the volunteers are shown taking a well-earned coffee break in the photo below.

Older posts: 👑👑👑A wonderful time was had by all at the residents' Coronation party on 7 May 2023. Many thanks to everyone who helped with the preparations and clear up, and to St Anselm's church and Roots & Shoots for lending tables.  Thanks also to Beefeater Gin, our wonderful local distillery, for the generous donation of their excellent gin, a key ingredient in our legendary Cleaver Crush cocktail.  All proceeds from the day were given to the local foodbank. 👑👑👑
