Royal Wedding Street Party

Author: sarah | May 31st, 2011

On Friday 29th April 2011, the HCP organised a Street Party for the Royal Wedding, open to the whole of Hainault. The event took place on Staggart Green in the heart of Hainault and attracted between 250 and 300 people, as well as the local press and even the Mayor of Redbridge!

The event was kicked off in style by a gospel choir ‘The Sanctuary Fellowship’ from St Paul’s. The facepainters were incredibly popular, as was the competition 'Hainault's Got Talent', co-jugded by Hainault Councillor Ted Griffin.

It was a great team effort, with support and attendance by Redbridge Homes, Hainault Library, Forest Farm Peace Garden, and Link Place. Local business even gave donations and prizes for the competitions.

The Hyneholt Pub screened the Royal Wedding and, at 12.30pm, the Hainault commuunity sat down together for lunch, having brought various dishes along.

The whole day was a great success! We were able to create a welcoming opportunity for the communities of Hainault to socialise, connect and enjoy a shared experience. As well as this, we've forged some valuable relationships with other local organisations and businesses. A special thank you to NISA for prize donations and help on the day and to A & C Fruiterer and J Clark & Sons for food donations.

Redbridge Abundance Project

Author: sarah | September 29th, 2010

The Abundance Project is an initiative introduced to try and harvest the
waste of surplus fruit from trees. Hundreds of trees bearing fruit are left unpicked, with wasps attracted to the rotting windfall. The project, through the aid of volunteers, aims to collect the extra fruit in order for it to be used in the production of jams, juice, chutneys and preserves in our community garden.
