There is a new friendly face watching over our Meanwhile Garden – welcome to Gunnersbury Gus who lives in one of the telecoms cabinets lining the walls behind our garden. We are delighted with the artwork created in early 2024 by Helga Stentzel, an award-winning artist based in Shepherd’s Bush. Judging by the smiles on the faces of people passing by, so are others – including one of our police community support officer Cheryl Spilsbury. Brightening up the streets where we live and the corners we pass by every day is part of WCGS’s mission.

Many thanks to Helga for the artwork and to Karen Liebreich of Abundance for arranging it.

Armed with our banner, our new leaflet and big smiles, we manned a table at the October Flower Market.

During the course of the day, we spoke to many local residents about who we are and what we do.

We hope that some will be inspired to join us.
