Thames Landscape Strategy - Hampton to Kew -

Volunteers

The Thames Landscape Strategy is a not for profit organisation and as such relies heavily on the generosity of volunteers to help it achieve its aims.

The Strategy is committed to working in partnership with local community groups and organisations to deliver improvements to the river corridor. At a strategic level the Community Advisory Group guides much of the TLS’s work from a grass roots level. The Strategy works closely with a number of groups including the Environment Trust for Richmond, Ham and Petersham Association and Canbury and River Association on practical volunteering initiatives throughout the year.

Though this strong partnership ethic over 16,200 volunteer hours have been clocked up over the year within the Thames Landscape Strategy area. The TLS website is a useful source of information about volunteering events happening along the Thames between Hampton and Kew. Other groups the partnership liaises with on a project basis include the Isleworth, Teddington and Richmond Societies and the Hurst Park and Molesey Residents Associations.

Through London’s Arcadia the Thames Landscape Strategy has developed it’s capacity to deliver corporate volunteering opportunities with local and regional firms and businesses. To date firms including PepsiCo, BSkyB and EBay UK have given their staff time generously in undertaking practical volunteering work. Other organisations who have taken part in practical work include the Heritage Lottery Fund (London’s Arcadia’s main funder), the National Trust, the London Borough of Richmond and Action Planning.

There is always plenty of opportunity to get involved. If you are interested in volunteering with the Strategy please get in touch.
