Chinese New Year – dragon procession
Transitioners Sara and Jess helped the New Cross library build a dragon for the Chinese New Year in late January – here’s the East London Lines report on the procession.
Connected Communities – help needed
Do you live in and around New Cross Gate? Could you spare 15 minutes to help the RSA, the Green Shoots centre and other local residents and partners improve wellbeing and local connection?
Please fill in this short survey and help us to deign local projects that use people’s connections to improve local wellbeing in practical ways, and to help isolated older people in particular.
Beasts of New Cross
We’ve just had our first workshop in support of the Unextinction Machine‘s Night of the Beasts winter carnival procession planned for Thursday 22nd Dec (more details on our events page).
We asked people to draw their Beasts – from under the bed or down a New Cross drain, take a look at our gallery to see what people came up with, or find out how to take part.
Food mapping for New Cross
View Larger Map
Fab new Transition New Cross volunteer Yael has put this great new Food Map together so we can start linking up some of the exciting food projects and spaces happening across the area. It’s designed to be updated by everyone, so please add to it if you can, it’s very simple to use. You can update it with anything from your local allotment, to a good foraging spot you know of, to a great cafe stocking locally sourced food.
Energy project update
What does a hair dryer have to say to a candle?
If you haven’t already heard about our links to the Goldsmith’s Energy and Co-Designing Communities project, take a look here to see what’s being planned.
TNX member Jess has just posted up a fledgling blogpost on what we’ve been asked to do so far, which includes a very silly conversation between a candle and a hair dryer amongst other things . . . .
