Following last year’s success, Havering Council is hosting another 'Let’s Waste Less' Creative Exhibition 🤩
 
 
All ages are welcome to take part and this year’s theme has been widened with the title “Let’s Grow Together & Waste Less”. We encourage any creative response to this theme - it could be photos of your creative indoor garden, using toilet roll tubes as plant pots, or you could have made a sculpture/collage/any creative response out of items you would have otherwise thrown away. 
 
The photos you submit do not have to be current. Please feel free to share work and projects you have previously created as well.

Every step taken and every penny raised will help save lives across London 💙 You might choose to walk just over a mile a day for the whole summer, or push yourself to take on longer journeys at weekends.

How it works: Everyone is invited to take on a '100' challenge of their choice over Sir Captain Tom's birthday weekend.

2. Complete your 100 challenge any time between Friday 30th April and Monday 3rd May
3. Share your 100 challenge on social media using #CaptainTom100
 
You can also fundraise or donate to a charity of your choice if you wish.

We are so pleased to share this wonderful news story about one of our own – Olly Flower.

Olly has competed in the Panathlon Challenge and represented Team Havering at the London Youth Games on many occasions over the years. 

Today, we are incredibly proud to announce that he is the recent recipient of the Jack Petchey Foundation 'Special Recognition' award for dedication as an athlete and for helping others achieve at Panathlon competitions.

Olly attended Redden Court School here in Havering and was due to attend the Boccia England national team trials just before the pandemic hit. He is a true talent. 

Congratulations Olly - you are a superstar! ⭐
