As a life-long South-Londoner and living in Croydon for over 15 years now, a few things stand out a mile to me. Both of them are about neglect.
- Our community green spaces are badly neglected.
- We have a big problem with helping homeless people.
This started out as me just being sick of looking at unsightly, scruffy green spaces in our neighbourhoods, almost everywhere I looked.
However, after sponsoring this project through my businesses, I have since realised that another problem I’ve seen on many times is the volume of rough sleepers we have in Croydon, South London, and, through conversations with charities like NightWatch, the scale of the problems they face.
But I’ve opened the biggest can of worms possible… And I need your help!
