🎉✂️There was lots of excitement this week when the Reception class at Good Shepherd Primary School joined Deputy Mayor Louise Krupski to open the brand new playground at Durham Hill in Downham! 🌟😃 This new playground has received over £95,000 investment from The NCIL Community Fund, The Lewisham Mayor's Greening Fund and the London Marathon Trust. 💚🌼 We are committed to continue to work with our communities to improve play opportunities for all children in the borough, improving health, quality of life and well-being. https://ow.ly/zG5t50SLJ4E

About us
Lewisham is a vibrant and culturally diverse borough. This reflected in all aspects of daily life, from the response to the pandemic where the community rallied to support our most vulnerable residents, to the 170 languages spoken in our homes, schools and businesses. We have a rich history of welcoming people from all over the world and are proud to be recognised as the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary, for our work in championing the rights of refugees and migrants. As we plan ahead, we are working towards a fairer, greener, healthier and more economically sound future for all in Lewisham. This means continuing our efforts to tackle climate change for generations to come; ensuring that good health and wellbeing is equally accessible to everyone; and safeguarding local jobs and up-skilling residents with tools they need to succeed. Building on the community spirit and activism that has been so prevalent in recent years, we are committed to creating a Future Lewisham we can all have a part in.
