The Friends of Harrow Weald
The Friends started as a group of local residents who volunteered and took responsibility for transforming our own local park and area.
It saddened us all to see the parks and outdoor spaces going to wreck and ruin and not being used as the great community spaces they should be. We looked at what we could do with sensible research, conversation and action.

Congratulations on your community gardening award. You guys and gals are really amazing and very much deserve recognition for for hard work. I have been sharing your flower and veggie photos with my 85 year old Dad and you have inspired him so much I hardly recognise him or our garden. We now have potatoes, carrots, beans and tomatoes all growing nicely and he is keen to grow more. Do thanks so much for your inspiration and breathing life into an old boy who was super glued to the couch before the covid lockdown.
Well done all and a big thanks to Lorna for being the glue that keeps us all together with her wonderful words of encouragement and support. Lorna you are our sunshine 🌞 thank you. xxxx

Helping others is healthy!
Why get involved?
We work towards creating smart parks, that are strengthened with a supporting community hub of local businesses, groups and the local authority to become stronger together by sharing information and ideas, building awareness, creating a knowledge bank, and sharing technical skills.
Rather than blaming others for any problems, we aim to find solutions and, where possible, to reduce any public costs with sensible research, conversation and action.
