Hello everyone (and happy Friday) - sharing an update from our friends at Greenwich Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Devonshire Drive. Members of the church would like to organise a community day trip to London Zoo made possible via the Community Access Scheme. The goal is to provide a fun and inclusive outing for residents while also strengthening community connections. With the Community Access Scheme, discounted tickets would be available for households meeting certain criteria, such as: Local residents within the Ashburnham Triangle / Greenwich area Households on low incomes or receiving benefits Families with children Older residents or individuals experiencing social isolation Carers and those supporting vulnerable community members   To help gauge interest for planning such an event, likely to happen in late September: Please share word of the event idea with neighbors and friends.
