VOLUNTEER WORKDAYS

The Green is entirely run and managed by volunteers. Volunteer workdays are organised by the Friends of Albion Millennium Green and (subject to Covid guidelines) take place every second Saturday of the month from 10.30 to 2.30.

Our focus is on plant-management and on the overall maintenance of the site. Our aim is to strike a balance between encouraging natural growth and biodiversity and creating an environment that is safe for all.

You are welcome to join us for some or all of that time. Bring gardening gloves and wear sturdy footwear. Tools are provided. We assemble near the Albion Villas Road entrance. Please note that there are no WC or hand washing facilities, and no facilities for refreshments; do bring your own if required.

You are free just to turn up on the day. You are also welcome to bring your children – there are plenty of jobs that they will enjoy doing – but you will need to take full responsibility for their care and ensure that you supervise them at all times (see our Safeguarding Policy – under Policies – for details).

If you would like to be added to our Workday mailing list please email the Secretary of FAMG on friendsalbiongreen@gmail.com

BECOME A FRIEND

The ongoing care of the Green is carried out by the Friends of Albion Millennium Green (FAMG) and by other local volunteers to whom we are very grateful.

Friends get involved in the monthly volunteer workdays, attend Friends meetings every two months, our AGM, get involved in fund-raising, and help organise community events on the Green.

Friends pay an annual membership fee of £10 (£3 unwaged and concessions) which is used to help towards the upkeep of the Green.

FAMG has a number of committee positions: Chair of FAMG (currently vacant), Secretary (currently filled) Treasurer (currently filled) and Environmental Officer (currently vacant). Please contact if you have relevant experience and expertise and are interested in potentially filling one of these positions.

BECOME A TRUSTEE

Albion Millennium Green is owned by the Albion Millennium Green Trust, Charity Commission number 1070868.

The Trustees of Albion Millennium Green are responsible for administering the work of the charity and ensuring that we carry out our remit as set out in our governing document. This remit is “to provide and maintain the Green” so that it may be used “forever as an area for informal recreation, play or leisure-time occupation, and as a meeting area or place for community events, and for any other lawful purpose consistent with these trusts and for the general benefit of the community.”

We currently have 4 trustees one of whom is a Lewisham councillor but have openings for additional trustees from the local area. Trustee meetings take place twice a year in March and September (currently online) and you also attend the AGM which normally takes place in November. Trustee Meetings are scheduled to take place before the Friends of Albion Millennium Green meetings and Trustees usually stay on to attend Friends’ meetings.

If you would like to become a Trustee, please contact the Chair of Albion Millennium Green Trust on chairamgtrust@gmail.com.

We would particularly welcome people with legal, environmental and fundraising skills. We are also keen to welcome Trustees who live or work in the vicinity of the Green or who are involved in local schools or businesses.

Do please also read the Charity Commission guidance about the responsibilities of Trustees which may be found here.
