As 2024 comes to an end, we’re taking a moment to reflect on everything we’ve achieved this year. IEL has worked with 26 groups of residents to improve life on Lambeth housing estates: together we have completed installation of 15 composting sites, 6 biodiversity sites, and brought people together at 5 events and 8 guided walks across the borough. We’ve lobbied for the Right To Grow and and for land justice, and worked with others to create Lambeth’s first sustainable food neighbourhood (Food Five Ways).
None of this would have been possible without local people’s passionate support for the natural environment, their neighbours and their communities. You’ve reached out to your communities, talked to them about what they want to change, worked with them to build new growing structures, and planted a multitude of plants! All actions that will help to create a more equitable and climate friendly world.
Many thanks to our funders, the National Lottery Community Fund and Lambeth Council.
We wish you a happy festive season and look forward to working together in the New Year.
