About the Friends
Who we are
The Friends of Kennington Park is a charity made up of local people who are passionate about the park.
Our aims
Our goals are:
-
to make the park the best it can be so it enriches peoples’ lives
-
to enthuse people about its past, present and future
-
to encourage people to respect the park and other park users
We do this by:
-
lobbying Lambeth council to ensure the park and its facilities are properly maintained
-
raising funds from charities and other groups to pay for new park facilities
-
listening to – and responding to - park users
-
representing the park in Lambeth’s strategic planning
-
monitoring events in the park
-
publishing a regular newsletter to keep people informed of latest events
We can only do this with your help, ideas, energy and financial support.
