Friends of Green Spaces groups help create better green spaces across the borough. In partnership with the Council’s Green Space Service, they can support their local community to have a greater say in what goes on in their parks.
Want to find out about Waltham Forest’s ‘Friends of Green Spaces’ groups; how to set a ‘Friend of’ group up; how else you can get involved with your local park or green space? Then you are in the right place!
Training and support
Training and support is available through The Conservation Volunteers (TCV), commissioned by Waltham Forest Council to support existing Friends groups and to help residents set up new Friends groups for parks and open spaces across the borough.
If your group has any specific training needs or requests please contact walthamforestfriends@tcv.org.uk or call 07440899645.
