The most recent Friends support and drive has been for the creation of a Community Wildlife Garden on the old depot site in the Park. Members of the Committee have attended several Community Council meetings.

In 2010 we applied and were successful in a bid for funds (£25,000 from the Cleaner Greener Safer Fund) to clear the debris from the site within the Park. This, plus the £15,000 we were awarded previously enabled us to make a start on clearing the site and renewing the fencing. This was an exciting new venture and, as with the Café, meetings have been held regularly with Southwark Council to co-ordinate it.

Other issues of concern that members of the Friends Committee have made representations on behalf of the Friends are:
 A proposed cycle path on the east side of Peckham Rye Common;Development of the paddling pool site, now a meadow area and part of the London House Sparrow Parks Project; Changing room containers to be sited next to the new cafe; andThe development of the old Waverley Girls Lower School site into a boys secondary school now Harris Boys Academy East Dulwich.

None of the above would be possible without the continuing support of our members.
