Camley Street Natural Park: A new partnership with London Wildlife Trust

In March 2022, SLT were delighted to partner with London Wildlife Trust, as part of our Nature Programme. SLT are running visits and guided walks to this hidden gem of natural wildlife, twice a month. Each visit focuses on a different theme each time, such as wildfowl; pond life; flora and fauna, or a woodland circle meditation. We also see how the site changes with each season and what’s new to discover. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
Volunteering Manifesto

Stuart Low Trust is a community based charitable organisation. A tremendous amount of support is already given by volunteers & trustees to deliver events and services. As the event calendar grows, so will its need for talented, motivated and interested volunteers. The office could also benefit from volunteers in administration. Click here to find out more.
SLT's 'Material World' Gallery

In May 2022, SLT partnered with National Youth Theatre to pilot a new Arts project “Material World”. This project was specifically for young people aged 18-35, living with mental health issues or learning disabilities. Over a course of 6 weeks, participants learned about and explored the fashion of the Jubilee years, and key moments in theatre history. Click here to view our Gallery.
