During the reporting period, Nature-Connected Neighbourhoods CIC carried out a range of activities designed to increase local engagement with nature, improve biodiversity, and support community wellbeing. These included ongoing wildlife gardening and habitat creation projects, the production of educational and inspirational wildlife gardening videos, and active participation in community events. The CIC hosted stalls at a school Earth Day fair and local Rotary fairs, offering interactive activities for children such as creating Hoverfly lagoons, designing wildlife gardens, craft activities and playing nature-themed educational games. Adults were encouraged to learn about wildlife-friendly gardening practices and make pledges to take specific actions at home. The CIC also distributed free wildflower seeds and provided tailored gardening and habitat-creation advice to residents. In addition, the organisation took part in public consultations and engaged in discussions with the local authority, conservation charities, and community groups to explore ways to meet community needs. Engagement with community members throughout the year helped shape the direction of future activities. These activities benefitted residents across the London Borough of Richmond, schoolchildren and their families, and local conservation organisations. Wider public audiences also benefited through the freely accessible educational content provided on YouTube and the website. The habitats created also contributed to the wellbeing of local wildlife and the broader natural environment.
Stakeholder consultation took place primarily through in-person discussions at community fairs, school events, and networking gatherings, including local authority climate events. Additional consultation occurred via YouTube and social media channels, where community members could share feedback and ideas. An AGM was held but attendance was lower than in previous years. The CIC also conducted walk-and-talk sessions with environmental groups to gather insights and collaboratively explore opportunities to support community and ecological needs. The main needs identified were information and advice. Potential community areas for wildlife gardening were also identified. The CIC responded by starting to seek permissions and exploring potential collaborations with wildlife gardening in community areas – principally via Habitats and Heritage and Friends of the River Crane Environment along with Richmond Borough council. These conversations were ongoing at the end of the reporting period. Information and advice was provided on a case-by-case basis, as well as more generally via video and the website and social media.
