Sitting down with Lynn one of the founders of Sprout Arts, a community arts venue on Moyser Road. I reflected on how art positively impacts the health and wellbeing of a neighbourhood.
In a delightful conversation, the benefits of Sprout Arts to the community became clear and I quickly completed their membership form to become a member which I urge you to do. With new exhibitions hosted fortnightly and a chance to meet the artists and see them create in the venue is a unique opportunity not afforded by the larger galleries and it is this intimacy that makes Sprout Arts so special.

Episode 11 Tooting Baby
Meeting Issy was a delight as I personally wanted to thank her and her predecessors for the invaluable resource that is the Tooting baby website https://tootingbaby.co.uk/, now also promoted on Instagram @TootingBabyand Twitter @BabyTooting.
The site provides a diary of tried and tested events for parents and caregivers of children up to school age - which are drop in and often free. The site also provides options for parents and caregivers.
A delightful conversation where once again the sense of the Tooting community resounds strongly and the energy of people like Issy working behind the scenes supports local residents and businesses alike.
