An ‘earth-friendly’ event is to be held by the Friends of Wandsworth Park.

The Eco Fair is taking place in the park (SW15 2PA) on Saturday 11 May between noon and 4pm.

As well as shire horses in the meadow, there will be craft activities for children, yoga, clean air advice, craft activities and a chance to speak to wildlife experts and hear about solar panel installation.

Food and drink will be sold including ice cream and smoothies and live entertainment will be provided by Serena Smit, Fiddler and Isabel Losado and The Joyful Environmentalist.

The aim of the Friends of Wandsworth Park is to preserve, protect and improve the Grade II listed park. It liaises regularly with Wandsworth Council and provides a forum for debate on the future of the park as well as raising funds for its upkeep.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
