Q&A - how to start a parks volunteer group

Londoners value and enjoy their local green spaces, and we can all help ensure these spaces continue to be the treasured community spaces we love by getting involved. Many green spaces have volunteer groups - often called 'friends groups' - who spend time helping out their local green spaces. This can be as simple as organising litter picking from time to time, or as big as holding community events. 

Are you interested in starting a group in your local green space? Or maybe you have a new group and you'd like some advice or have a problem you'd like help with? Join our drop in Q&A and we'll try to help you to get your group going and thriving. Dave Morris is the chair of the London Friends of Green Spaces Forum and Laura Collins manages the GoParksLondon project, and both have many years of experience managing their own friends groups as well as helping others.

We hope you'll join us!
