The Great Brent Spring Clean…
|

… is back! From 27 May to 17 June, Brent are helping people to spruce up local streets and parks to run a community clean up event. Brent will support all with gloves, litter pickers and bags and clear away the bags afterwards. (This is a spin-off of the annual Great British Spring Clean organised by Keep Britain Tidy.) Last year, Brent volunteers from community groups to local businesses collected 300 bags across local streets, parks and estates! MapRA happy to set something up if anyone keen; let me know.

“We are trying to help two Ukrainian couples who have recently moved to London. One lady, Tamara, in particular, is a psychologist and has experience with children. She speaks Ukrainian, Russian, and some English. She is looking for work but doesn’t yet feel confident in a solely English speaking environment, so we were wondering if there are any Ukrainian or Russian families at who may need a nanny or a psychologist for their children? Tamara can be contacted directly at tomafdt@gmail.com”
