t By Royal Appointmen Do you recognise this famous face? Our Area Panel member Monica Barnes and staff member Tom Arkle were pictured with former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond on a visit to Buckingham Palace. They were there to celebrate our work with the Duke of Edinburgh scheme in May. We posted this photograph on our @amicushorizon Twitter account. And Jennie Bond shared the tweet with over 6,000 people who follow her! Grow your own! We launched a fantastic new gardening project in Saxonfield Close, Tulse Hill, in May. Lots of people came along and, best of all, it didn’t rain! The project, in partnership with Wandle Housing Association, aims to teach children how to grow fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers and lots more. It’ll include how to nurture them and watch them develop and grow. The project will be interactive and fun with children, parents, teachers and volunteers all working together on this new environmentally friendly project. For further information about this project please contact Tom Arkle on 0800 121 60 60. 11
