Downham Matters

Downham Matters is a volunteer-led community group in Downham, Lewisham, formed in 2019 by three local mothers who wanted to improve the environment around their children’s school and the wider neighbourhood. The group works to transform local green spaces, organise litter-picking events and encourage community participation in improving the local area. Downham Matters operates mainly through a community Facebook group, providing a platform for residents to connect, share ideas and take part in local initiatives.
