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.

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.

The ATA fundraises for Shelter!

Image
Hello everyone - a number of you participated in the ATA Christmas caroling activities which raise money each year for the Shelter charity. At the most recent of these events, £581 was raised by Carol Singing, the Quiz and a contribution made by the Ashburnham Arms. Below please find a copy of the note from Shelter in response to the ATA donation. A big thank-you to everyone who participated, and an open invitation to participate in these festivities later in 2026. To the Ashburnham Triangle Association from Shelter  Thank you for your kind donation of £581 and for supporting Shelter. With your incredible gift, we can – and will – make a real difference. Families experiencing homelessness face months if not years in unfit temporary accommodation, with little or no support. Many are uprooted from their communities, separated from loved ones, schools and essential support networks. No family should face ho...

The why and the how of remembering local figures. And who is missing? From blue plaques to street names, and statues to schools, Mick will talk about who is remembered and how... and asking you, do you agree?    Mick will suggest, for the Ashburnham Triangle, the names of figures he feels have been left out of our own local story. There is, for instance, a great lack of women and non-establishment figures. Maybe you have a local name you would like to add to Mick’s list - if so, please tell us on the night! Mick hopes we can end the evening with a straw poll vote on who we would most like to see the Ashburnham Triangle remembering - perhaps as a first step to adding a new chap...
