The Friends of Lordship Rec Who we are and what we do

The Friends of Lordship Rec was created in June 2001. We are a group of local residents and park users who meet regularly together with the aim of protecting and encouraging good maintenance of Lordship Rec, and trying to ensure the rec gets the resources it needs. We hold regular monthly drop in sessions at 2pm on the first sunday of every month in the red brick building by the childrens playground to which everyone is welcome. We act as the voluntary eyes and ears of the park, noticing and reporting what needs fixing or replacing and also reporting anything going on that we feel is detrimental to the Rec. We work with other agencies and organisations interested in the future of the rec via the Lordship Rec Users Forum.We organise events and activity days to bring local people into the Rec and to encourage others to take an active interest in the upkeep of the rec and its future. We have organised summer festivals with games, arts and crafts and nature activities and also have set up volunteer work days in conjunction with BTCV (a conservation charity) clearing debris from the lake or planting bulbs.We have been successful in bringing extra funds into the Rec by bidding for grants from external bodies and have been able to to carry out improvement projects ( See What to do and See -Lake and The Future - projects) Join the Friends If you would like to join the Friends, come along to one of our monthly drop-ins in the Rec or contact us at: The Friends of Lordship Rec, 14 Sandringham Road, London N22 6RB
