Students who attended came from courses on social work, and technology and education.

Looking back to some photos of Thamesmead, we realized we did not post about the last Mapping Thamesmead for Change session, which happened on Friday 4th May.
This time, thanks to the Thamesmere Leisure Centre, which provided us with a space that afternoon and big thanks to Ms Averil Lekau, a Thamesmead resident who took us on a tour around some remarkable places, our day was very productive. Have a look to some of our pictures below.

Air pollution is one of the longstanding environmental issues that is important at global, regional and local level. It is equally something that concerns ordinary people, especially when they live in an area they consider to be polluted.
