I love Tooting

I had a wonderful conversation with the inspirational Sahar Beg, learning how the Tooting Community Kitchen, supports local people. Providing hot meals to over 300 people weekly, the Tooting Community Kitchen also has a foodbank and provides groups with clothing and toiletries.

To help support this wonderful initiative please check out their website /www.tootingcommunitykitchen.co.uk and follow them on social media @TootComKitchen 

Meeting Dawn, chair of the Furzedown Community Network (FCN), it was impossible not to get swept up in her passion and energy for supporting her local community. Being responsive to local needs the FCN supports the best way they can, be it time, financial support, or expertise.

Although membership to the FCN is restricted to Furzedown locals, the events they host are open to everyone as is their ever popular chat forum to discuss local matters. To subscribe go to https://groups.io/g/furzedown/join

More information can be found on their website  https://furzedown.net/ and on social media @furzedown_net

On this weeks episode I met Hilary Jennings a founding member of Transition Town Tooting a part of the global Transition Network that focuses on supporting sustainable living locally.

I came away from this conversation feeling more positive. The local initiatives lead the way in supporting a cleaner, greener environment for the place we call home.

P.S Apologies for the background noise, Tooting is a busy neighbourhood, I hope it doesn’t impact your enjoyment of an insightful conversation.

On this episode we turn the tables with me being interviewed by my good friend and fellow Tooting resident Katie. Our conversation uncovers the origin of the podcast, the journey so far and my hopes for the future. 

Please contact me with any feedback on this series to [email protected] and I hope you enjoy the ‘true’ episodes, released every Monday.
