achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Pandemic, declared early in 2020 and
the lockdowns which followed, led to a
huge increase in the numbers of people
using the Scrubs. The Friends have worked
tirelessly to ensure that the users are
aware of the environmental importance of
the Scrubs through engaging with the users
directly, promoting the values through
various communication channels including
its website, emails, etc., through active
engagement with the WSCT, and the local
authority, the London Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham, and the Parks
and Met Police (particularly when there has
been a risk of unauthorised large scale
gatherings of the Scrubs). These actions
have promoted a sense of safety and
security for users, and have discouraged
the public from damaging the Scrubs. With
HS2 recently beginning relocation of a
sewer on the Scrubs, the Friends were
instrumental in achieving an alternative
access for HS2 to the Scrubs to ameliorate
the damage and a group of volunteers
worked with LBHF in carrying out protective
works to preserve the wildlife habitat.| ## **Additional information (optional)** |**Additional information (optional)**|**Additional information (optional)**|| |---|---|---| |You may choose to include further statements||where relevant about:| |Achievements against
