I used wet wipes for about 6 years before realising that most were made out of plastic (i.e. polyester!) and will take 200 years to biodegrade. Most end up in London?s landfills (which will be full by 2026) and 1 in 3 gets flushed down the toilet ending up in our rivers and beaches? or forming 93% of London?s fatbergs.


Please join us in stitching messages into baby-wipes and sending them to our MP?s and supermarkets asking for action on plastic wipes.


All resources and toys for any children (but just be aware there will be needles and scissors around!) will be provided. All welcome! You don?t need to know how to stitch, and the more hand-made the message the better! I can teach you some stitches and it?s really easy. All you need is a willingness to stitch messages for the environment.


Please join us!

Friday's 9.30 ? 11.30 at Aneto Caf? (58-60 East Dulwich Road, SE22 9AX) at the back.

*We're using pre-consumer waste wipes, off cuts from a wipes factory which were going to be thrown away. Plus they didn't have any moisture on them, so it's a firmer surface. No actual wipes were purchased in this project!

Tomorrow morning... if anyone's around it would be lovely to have some company while stitching!

    • This guy was found running loose on the common, up at the Colyton Road end. He was being quite over zealous with other dogs, causing a bit of mayhem. No collar, we think he might be a pup who's escaped. If he's yours, PM me and I can put you in touch with a kind young couple who got a lead on him and have put shout-outs on the local dog whatsapp groups.  If you are the parents of any of the young lads in school uniform, who were helping me as I tried to stop a fight kicking off between this chap and my dog, please tell your sons thank you. I really thought it was going to get nasty and I didn't get the chance to thank the boys - particularly the blonde one - who were helping me. He was being very brave as I crumbled.    The dog's owner has now been found. But hopefully the parents of the young lads will see this post. 
    • Another huge thumbs up for Robert 👍🏻 He’s done several jobs for us over the years and has always been quick, efficient and reliable. Most recently, our 20+-year-old boiler packed up during the coldest time of the year and he fixed it in 20 minutes. He’s Gas Safe registered and has done checks for us multiple times. Highly recommended. Robert Mills (07952 584171)  
    • I'm interested in a gentle run round the Rye
