Come and volunteer at the Stepping Stones charity allotment

Plot 143, Stuart Road allotments

Saturday 4th July 10am-3pm - come anytime


Stepping Stones is a South London charity that provides educational, social, and leisure services for adults with learning disabilities www.stepping-stones-project.co.uk.


We run regular horticultural therapy sessions at our allotment near Peckham Rye designed for participants to learn how to grow organic food together and to promote physical activity outdoors. This helps our gardeners develop life and social skills, whilst building confidence and most importantly having fun.


Do you have an hour or so to help weed, build raised beds, etc? Refreshments provided.


If you can help let us know in advance by emailing [email protected]

or just turn up on the day and call Maria from the gate 07964280576

Entrance: allotment gate in Elland Road, London SE15 3AD near Peckham Rye

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
