New area charity: MammaKind, Norman Road

-
MammaKind is a baby bank providing clothes, toys, baby equipment, essential hygiene items and baby food to families in poverty in the south-east London boroughs of Bromley, Bexley, Greenwich and Lewisham.
The majority of the families they support are headed by a single mother and many face additional disadvantages, such as disability or having experienced violence, and have no recourse to public funds. The removal of the benefit uplift, refugee crisis and cost-of-living crisis has created even more demand for our help.

It will be interesting to see what happens to this site. The Grade II listing will restrict major redevelopment of the building.

Hello everyone, Please join us on Wednesday evening, 6:30pm in the back room of the Ashburnham Arms for a conversation with Chris Horn, client project lead, to present the revised application to build three houses to replace the garages on Ashburnham Place (opposite St. Marks Centre). Originally submitted as a larger development to construct five houses, and with planning permissions refused, this is being brought back as a smaller scheme following advice from the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Hannah Cornett, the architect involved with the planning, will also be in attendance. We look forward to seeing as many people as possible to discuss this significant building application within the Triangle. Do aim to arrive early to get your seat (and drinks). Snacks will be made available as well.
