One of several Green Influencers groups in the area, the Sidney Park Sorters kept Sidney Park tidy and got families involved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When? 2021-2022
Partners: VANEL, Green Influencers. Sidney Park Partnership<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been a range of \u2018green\u2019 initiatives within Sidney Park – including litter picking and a Sidney Park Watch, as well as all the efforts from the other users and groups in the Park to keep it clean and tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the VANEL Green Influencers groups were getting underway we found a willing audience of local young people and their families who were ready to form a group to meet in Sidney Park. One particular local parent was instrumental in bringing people together and the Sidney Sorters Green Influencers Group was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group met weekly to start with litter picking and tidying and weeding, but then evolved to doing their own planting and tending for their own space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group also organised Family Feast sessions for the community; organised fun days in both Sidney Park and Sussex Rec and generally gave local families and young people a connection to and pride in Sidney Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually the group faded away as an organised venture after around 18months of activity, but local families are now much more involved in the Park and there is now a lot of focus ongoing around the \u201cPitstop in the Park\u201d cafe which provides a connection for local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
