We have some fantastic prizes for the tombola and raffle, for which Janet Daby our MP is donating a bottle of House of Commons red wine and the Lord Northbrook has given us a £100 voucher (other prizes include a garden tool, vouchers for a pottery painting workshop, Hair Deco, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers and Sapore Vero).

Please start sowing seeds, plan to bake, donate tombola prizes, make jam… and let us know if you can help us on the day: 17th of May 2-4 p.m., 2-6 Micheldever Rd.

Lee Green Lives AGM
2025-03-11 19:30 - 21:30 UTC | Manor House Library, 34 Old Rd, Lee, London, SE13 5SY, United Kingdom
Hi everyone,
You are warmly invited to Lee Green Lives’ AGM (Agenda and Minutes 2024 attached). We hope to send you our Annual Report – just going to press – in the next few days.

It has been a year of great challenges and changes for Lee Green Lives. We have a new home, having had to leave Leegate, where for 14 years we provided activities and services from a much-loved community centre in the run-down shopping centre, now scheduled for demotion.
So, we went into this past year faced with the prospect of having nowhere to stay and with insufficient funds to survive. That we have a new home with enough money to keep us going is testament to a lot of hard work by volunteers and staff alike, the faith of those who take part in our activities and use our services, and the support of others in the community.

We hope you will spread the word and come, together with friends and colleagues, to our AGM and hear about how we achieved it, our hopes for the future and how you can maybe help us.
Best wishes,
Jim Mallory
