At January's Annual General Meeting (AGM) th Friends of Mayow Park (FOMP) elected a new Chair to lead the group. Robert Hero introduces himself and his aspirations for the future below.
As Chairperson of the Friends of Mayow Park, I’m inspired every day by the community that loves this space. One area where we’ve seen real progress is litter control. Working with Glendale Park Management and Lewisham Council, and adding some of our own bins, the park is cleaner and more welcoming than ever.

We have several exciting projects underway. Replacing trees lost to age or storms helps the park remain a green oasis, and we have established a developing wildlife pond, providing a home for insects, and amphibians while making the park even more engaging for families.

Looking ahead, we hope to restore the Victorian drinking fountain, a historic feature that will shine again in time for our 150th anniversary in 2028. That year will be a chance to celebrate the park’s history, its thriving wildlife, and all the improvements the community has helped bring to life.
We plan a month of events and activities to bring everyone together. From the restored fountain to our flourishing trees and wildlife pond, 2028 will be a celebration of Mayow Park and the people who care for it—a milestone to inspire the next chapter of our park’s story.
Robert
