We are a volunteer group, working in partnership with Croydon Council and other groups operating in the park including The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and Grow Wild CIC. Our aim is to make South Norwood Lake and Grounds a more biodiverse, beautiful and friendly place for local people and wildlife. Since we started out in 2020 we have planted a community orchard, established new hedges, wildflower meadows and flower beds. Volunteers get involved in wide-ranging activities including gardening, litter picking and conservation work in the woodland. 

Come along to our volunteer work days on the first Sunday of each month, from 10 - 12.  We provide all tools and litter pickers. Everyone is welcome (under 18s accompanied) and we finish each session with tea and biscuits in the Glade. 

We also organise an annual Open Day in May in partnership with other park groups, which includes a plant sale and children’s activities to help us to raise funds for our volunteer work.
