Green Norwood

How Green Can We Go?
Under our Green Norwood initiative, the Forum has been promoting the green agenda in our local community for many years:

  • We have been celebrating nature in an urban inner London environment through our Wild Norwood creative community project

  • Through multiple small grants to organisations working in and on green spaces 2022/23 Community Projects | Norwood Forum

  • We have been raising awareness of the bigger environmental picture and identifying ways in which we can focus on grass roots change through our local COP public events mirroring the international COP26 in Glasgow and COP27 in Egypt  #COPNorwood | Norwood Forum | #COP27Norwood | Norwood Forum

  • Through our Thriving  Norwood programme, we fund and otherwise support the activities of multiple community-based organisations focused on health and wellbeing, including nature and green spaces

  • We have contributed to community research on air pollution and signposted to local Clean Air projects Clean Air | Norwood Forum

  • Mums for Lungs are a regular contributor to our monthly newsletter

  • We have supported green art murals and environmental installations in our neighbourhood, such as the ‘Plastic Mountain’.

And we were really proud to be shortlisted in the 2024 Lambeth Civic Awards in the Lambeth Climate Justice category Lambeth celebrates winners of the Lambeth Civic Awards 2024 - Love Lambeth Love Lambeth
