At the request of area residents and our Neighbourhood Safety Officer, PC Andrew Nash, I am writing to promote the police's new Met Engage platform which enables residents to stay in touch with local officers and to report crimes more easily. One resident recently experienced the theft of an expensive package from the lower front garden area of their home, though fortunately their Ring camera snapped the thief and ultimately police were able to catch him (he pleaded guilty last week and will be sentenced in September).  This resident initally found it challenging to get in touch with the right police team working their case (a problem I had two years ago in relation to a harassment matter). PC Nash's recommendation is that AT residents to sign up to Met Engage - noting that the more people who join, the more effective the platform becomes. Having signed up myself, the platform allows you to create settings that alert you to news, area developments, specific types of crime, cha...

As some will recall, recently Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG) recently extended an offer to AT residents in relation to its  Ocean Court Discovery Day. RMG was delighted to meet ATA members and showcase a bit of what the Museum has been working on in 2025. As a show of their appreciation, RMG would  like to extend ATA members an invite to their upcoming lecture HMS Captain: Technological Triumph to Tragedy for a discounted rate (currently reserved to Museum members only). Explore the story of  HMS Captain  (1869), a revolutionary warship, embodying Victorian Britain’s technological innovation with its rotating armoured turrets, wrought-iron armour, and steam propulsion as well as sails. At first appearance the ship was formidable but, only five months after its commission, on 7 September 1870  HMS Captain  capsized off Cape Finisterre in a severe gale. Only 18 of her crew of nearly 500 officers and men survived. The recent s...

The Self Space describes itself as a modern mental health service for everyday people, offering therapy and mental health support that’s as easy to access as a morning coffee. They recently opened a brand new space right here in Greenwich down on 13 Turnpin Lane, SE10 9JA and would love to become part of the fabric of the community. To make that happen, they have asked that the news be shared with the community. The Self Space offers in-person and online therapy, workplace mental health training, and community events. Their new Greenwich space is also a hub for the newly launched Family Therapy offering. If you’re curious (or just fancy a nose around), pop in, say hello, and see the space for yourself. And, if you're happy to pop up any posters or would like some postcards/flyers, please reach out to Adam Downing, Community Lead ( adam.downing@theselfspace.com ) and someone from his team will pop some in for you.
