An evening with Barack Obama at the O2:

Mama2Mama, a Woolwich-based baby bank, is relocating to a brandnew community space this autumn.

The new hub features a cafe, softplay area, remote working desks and a toy and book library, designed to support families in crisis and bring the wider community together.

Founded on Mother’s Day in 2021, Mama2Mama began as a response to a growing crisis facing families in South East London.

Operating much like a food bank, but for babies, Mama2Mama collects new and pre-loved essentials for children aged 0–7. Most donations come from the public as pre-loved items, before being redistributed to parents most in need of them.

Mama2Mama was born out of lockdown when founder and CEO, Zuzana Fratrikova, saw the desperate need for essentials: “I would watch nappies, formula and clothes just fly off the shelves and straight into the community,” she recalls of her early volunteering days. That urgency became the seed of Mama2Mama.

The Mama2Mama team are in the process of relocating to a larger space on Pett Street, just off Church Street in Woolwich. They will be closed throughout September to organise the move, re-opening in October to unveil their brand new space, equipped with

How you can help:

Donate items: From October, the new hub will accept donations of baby clothes (0–7 years), nappies, toiletries, and equipment.

Visit the café: Every purchase supports the charity’s work.

Volunteer skills: Finance, marketing, or policy expertise are especially needed.

Spread the word: The more people who know about Mama2Mama, the more families can be reached.

New address (open from 1 October): 1A Pett Street, London, SE18 5BH

HELP BABY BANK BOOM

Woolwich’s Mama2Mama is expanding to a new hub with cafe and soft-play area, writes Evie Flynn

a cafe, soft-play area and workspace.

Mama2Mama’s support goes beyond clothes and nappies. The team at Mama2Mama work in close partnership with parents to create long-term support plans. This includes referrals to parenting programmes, targeted family support services, employability and advice and health services.

Zuzana describes Woolwich as a “diverse and resilient” community, but one facing real challenges:

child poverty, overcrowding and the cost-of-living crisis.

“There is a powerful sense of solidarity in Woolwich. People genuinely look out for each other,” Zuzana explains. “That spirit of generosity and resilience is what makes Woolwich so special and why Mama2Mama is proud to call it home.”

The demand for Mama2Mama’s services has surged by 150% in the past year, with many families coming from households where

both parents are working full-time.

Like many grassroots charities, sustaining funding is a constant challenge. They also rely on a patchwork of grants, small donations and social enterprise from their cafe to stay afloat.

Every cup of coffee or slice of cake bought in the cafe directly funds its services.

“If you’re a coffee drinker, swapping just one Starbucks or Costa a week

for a coffee with us makes a real difference,” Zuzana explains.

Volunteers also play a vital role. The team is always looking for people with hard skills in finance, marketing, or policy, alongside those who can give time to sort and distribute baby essentials.

Looking ahead, Zuzana hopes the new space will serve to establish Mama2Mama as a vital community hub. She looks to combine the practical support with a welcoming social space through the cafe and soft-play area.

The new hub in Pett Street will create a welcoming space where families can feel there is dignity rather than any stigma.

Zuzana is also interested in developing a sustainable “circular economy” structure that can be scaled to other areas of London, where clothes and essential supplies are re-used.

From 2026, plans include running activities for vulnerable families, from children’s fitness sessions to the charity’s first fully-funded American Football Academy.

“At its heart,” Zuzana says, “Mama2Mama will always be about dignity, community, and ensuring every child gets the best possible start in life.”

COUNCIL HALTS DEPTFORD HIGH STREET PEDESTRIANISATION

Campaign group, Save Deptford High Street said it would “destroy local businesses”, writes Ruby Gregory

Lewisham Council has decided to pause on its plans to pedestrianise Deptford High Street following strong opposition from a campaign group made up of local traders and residents.

Campaign group, Save Deptford High Street had urged the council not to pedestrianise the high street and ban cars from accessing it for seven days a week, arguing it would “destroy local businesses, isolate vulnerable residents and accelerate gentrification”.

On Thursday (September 4), the council said no pedestrianisation scheme would come forward without further engagement with the local community, and instead outlined its other plans for the area.

Terry Corne’s family-run shop, Terry’s Discount, has existed on Deptford High Street for the last 50 years. Reacting to the pedestrianisation plans being halted, Terry said: “I’m glad in a way because now customers can come to the shop and pick up heavy stuff and put it in their car and drive off. They’re able to get bags and bags of soil. This is good, I’m glad anyway.”

One improvement Terry would like to see is for the zebra crossing outside the Sainsbury’s Local to be repainted as “people don’t recognise it”.

Following a consultation, which was carried out in April and May of this year and saw almost 3,000 residents respond to the survey, the council found there was a strong public interest in improving cleanliness and waste management on the high street, as well as better lighting to make the high street more welcoming and improve safety.

The council has said it has already repainted the lighting column along the high street and neighbouring Douglas Way and Creekside, removing graffiti and stickers. The footway areas along the whole length of Deptford High Street are expected to undergo a deep clean this month.

Further action will see old phone boxes, damaged signs and poles removed as well as additional planting in the area and improved lighting, especially under the railway bridge. The high street will see cycle hangars installed, enhanced signage and wayfinding to make it easier to get to businesses, and extra enforcement to tackle illegal parking and antisocial behaviour.

The council is expected to make more announcements about when the action is expected to be delivered shortly.

Ese Erheriene, Cabinet Member for Business, Jobs and Skills at Lewisham Council, said: “Residents and businesses

have spoken clearly and we have listened carefully – their views have genuinely shaped the future of Deptford High Street.

“Guided by their feedback from our consultation, we are ensuring the area is even more welcoming, cleaner and safer and a fantastic place to trade and do business.”

Save Deptford High Street, which has garnered 271 signatures from local people on change.org, said the pedestrianisation plans were not improvements for locals, but rather a “death sentence for people who make Deptford what it is”.

The petition partly read: “Deptford High Street is not just a place to pass through, it is a lifeline. It is where elders and families shop, where tradespeople collect supplies, where churches serve the community, and where independent businesses have survived against all odds.”

The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) has contacted the campaign group for comment following the update from the council.

The Older Person Olympics is looking for senior athletes to help Team Lewisham secure the win

Team Lewisham is looking for athletes to take part in an ‘Older Person’s Olympics’, which will see south London’s oversixties compete at the Olympic Park’s famous Copper Box Arena, writes Evie Flynn

Team Lewisham, a group of over60s, is participating in the ‘Better Club Games’, an annual event where teams of older people come together at Copper Box Arena in London to compete in a variety of indoor sports such as badminton, table tennis, bowls and static cycling.

Last year, Team Lewisham came fourth in the tournament, a jump fourteen places from the previous year.

With more than 700 contestants and over than twenty teams, Team Lewisham are looking to secure a place in the top 3 this year. Last year, Epsom and Ewell came first, Waltham Forest came second and Greenwich was third.

Trevor Pybus, 67, a community

link worker from Downham, has been taking part in the Games for a few years as part of the walking football event. He is hopeful that Team Lewisham can triumph this year, but says he will enjoy himself whatever the outcome.

“It’s an excellent competition and I’ve always got hopes that we’ll do well - but it’s more about participation,” he explains. “It’s great to be part

of a group. Matthew Houghton (Community Sport Manager in Lewisham) plays a crucial role in encouraging team spirit.”

Claire Pitter, from Catford, in her 60s, is competing in the dominoes event and is putting together a team of players from Lewisham’s Hummingbird Community Centre, where she works as Programme Manager.

Following an unexpected tragedy, the explosive Harriet moves in with her brother, George, a carer for the elderly and dutiful lover of order. Harriet causes chaos. George picks up the pieces. That’s the way it has always been.

Cohabiting for the first time since their teenage years, the two siblings find themselves reliving the patterns and rehashing the conflicts they established as children.

Navigating early adulthood, grief and a dwindling list of dinner ideas, they decipher what it means to grow up in a family that has never known how to deal with disaster.

She feels confident that Team Lewisham will put up a good fight.

“Dominoes is a very competitive sport and there’s a lot more to it than you might think,” she comments. “It all depends who you’re playing with and you have to read your partner’s hand. We’ve got a lot of really good players, so I think we’re going to have to have some sort of internal competition to select who’ll be going to the Club Games.

“Last year, was our first time and we did pretty well- we came second in our event. Now we know how it works, we’re going in fighting for our borough! But it’s also a fun occasion. The camaraderie is good and you get to meet people from other areas.”

Matthew adds, “Last year was such a success and it was due to the hard work and excellent performances of those who took part. Jumping from 18th to 4th place is a real testament to those who got involved. We would love to go one better this year, but need more people to come forward and represent Team Lewisham. If you’re 60 years or older and would like to represent the borough and help us reach the top three, then sign up today!”

This year, Club Games takes place on 1 October at Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E20 3HB.

The small ship and boat building businesses

Last week I wrote about the Rennie brothers shipbuilding business on Dreadnought Wharf in Greenwich and said how difficult it was to research this clearly important company. Equally difficult are the many small ship and boat building businesses on the Greenwich Riverside about which little is known and who appear in few written records – a single directory entry, payments in official records, or a brief mention in somebody else’s history.

In various articles and books I’ve described as far as I can some of the big boat builders with sites in Greenwich – and some of this article will be about the builders of famous and remarkable sailing vessels. There were however many other builders and they built very small boats and the humble lighter – the engineless ‘dumb’ barges which carried everything and anything around the River and the docks. There must have been many thousands of lighters in the Port of London and someone had to build them.

The only reference I have ever seen to the building of lighters is a photograph of one being launched from Pipers’ Yard in East Greenwich, but Pipers was hardly a small firm, being the premier sailing barge builders on the river and the sort of works which always had photographs taken of their activities.

There are plenty of websites describing lighters and I see that the London Canal Museum had the exhibition about their history earlier this year. The National Maritime

Museum website points out the difference between lightermen and watermen and I wrote a bit about Watermen in articles about watermen’s stairs - (which reminds me I still have a number of those that I’ve never written up). Anyway the NMM website explains that lightermen were concerned with the transport of goods, whereas watermen took people. The name lighter is always said to come from the fact that by removing goods from cargo ships they became lighter – and some claim a German adult source for the word.

Over the past couple of days I’ve been reading a new book ‘Maritime Metropolis’ by Sarah Palmer and it’s talking about the Port of London before 1914. It takes on all the big themes about the Port as well as the history of its management. It’s all about parliament and international trade and things like that. It’s not going to mention all the little companies but without them I don’t know where the big ones would be! I’m very much enjoying reading the book, though.

To come back to all those little companies we see in directories. There were some on Deptford Creek and some along what is now the area covered by Dreadnought Wharf and along the west bank of the Peninsula. They tend to be in office buildings with some foreshore and they advertise lighterage and wharfage and in fact they provided services which kept the river industries moving – and surely many of them must still exist. I guess that a lot of them were much bigger organisations than we realise in their small office buildings.

Dreadnought Wharf is now part of a walkway which goes along the Riverside and includes an area which was and still is called Wood Wharf. There is a very interesting little book called ‘Wood Wharf’ by Ron Richards who talks some of the industries in that area. He describes otherwise barely remembered businesses - like the Bishop family who built barges and had a workshop and a sail making business here. He points out that in the mid 1970s there were still six barge repair yards along here before you reached

When I first met Ron he was working for a boat repair business called Pope and Bond who were based there on the actual Wood Wharf –as distinct from the road called ‘Wood Wharf’. They had been there only since 1967 and undertook boat and barge repair and were one of only a few such businesses left on the Thames – a vital facility for all craft using the River. They were carrying out contracts for the Greater London Council. Eventually they lost a major contract and were forced to close. Ironically the Government had ‘safeguarded’ working wharves along the River but had failed to do so for boat and barge repair works. There was a huge effort made to save Wood Wharf, but it was soon and inevitably taken over by developers.

But I want to return to the builders of the few remaining spritzel sailing barges – the ones which normally get all the attention. The only Greenwich built sailing barge which I am aware of still in sail is Orinoco. Check her out at https://www.facebook.com/ SBOrinoco/?locale=en_GB. An old friend of mine, Jim Hughes, who was a sailing barge enthusiast, had done a lot of research on Orinoco and was building a model of her. This was back in the 1990s.

Sadly Jim had a stroke and a message was given to me that he wanted me to do something. I managed to deduce from the few words he was able to say that he wanted me to see Orinoco then berthed at Hoo Marina. So I went down to Hoo and took some photographsalthough as everybody knows I’m the world’s worst photographer!

When Jim died his widow, Elsie, lent me a box of notes that he’d made of the background to Orinoco. She had been built by members of the Hughes family (no relation to Jim) who had a boat repair and lighterage business on what was then called Providence Wharf, on the Greenwich Peninsulapart of the area which is now Riverside Gardens. However it was not anything to do with the boat repair business which remained there until relatively recently. Jim had done a lot of family history research into the Hughes family which I wrote up and sent to Bygone Kent for publication. The editor then was the very wonderful Pat O’Driscoll, but she never published anything about sailing barges which I wrote without having it thoroughly inspected by one of the many enthusiasts she was in touch with. However she eventually published the article with not too many changes.

But I soon discovered that Jim’s research about the Hughes family’s past activities and work on Providence Wharf was only a small part of their story. He did not know that they had moved eventually to Dreadnought Wharf in succession to the Rennie Brothers, whom I wrote about last week. There Augustus and Edmund Hughes changed the company name to the London and Tilbury Lighterage Company Limited’ and worked to carry out a wide range of river maintenance tasks. They did not restrict their work to the Thames or even to England. Reports say that they were dredging rivers and shallow seas in Argentina, Kuwait, Burma, Australia, and India.

The last family member who was involved in management of the company was Michael Hughes, who died in 1976. They merged with the construction giant RM. Douglas in

the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.

Mary Mills

1991 and became Tilbury Douglas. In 2001 they changed the name of the company to Interserve. By then they had long left Dreadnought Wharf. The company was carrying out major construction projects worldwide. One example is the Birmingham based National Exhibition Centre, but there were many more.

Around 2020 the company began to experience financial difficulties and eventually went into administration. As I understand it the Tilbury Douglas construction section is still going, but the Interserve parts of it have been closed down. There are endless websites which describe the financial difficulties of the company as well as the past.

There are many other websites under the Interserve name and I am far from clear which of them refer to the ex Tilbury Lighterage business and which are something completely different. Very many of them are charitable and I am very aware that Interserve gave a great deal of its profits to various good causes and some of these may be among these websites.

One of these may be the environmental charity, Groundwork. I’m aware that Groundwork gave a considerable amount of money to keep the Greenwich Riverside Path in good order and I remember walking down the path with Groundwork officers who were making notes about work which needed to be done.

I said at the beginning of this article that there were many small businesses along the Riverside in small and unpretentious offices offering services using their lighters and small boats - and that they were probably a bit different from the big companies which built the spritzel sailing barges.

I think that the Hughes brothers are a good example of this. When they were on Providence Wharf and later Dreadnought Wharf, who would have thought that they had this huge international business which was to become a leading operator in river services worldwide?

Students celebrated at Great in Greenwich Awards

Greenwich’s highest achieving and hardest working students have been celebrated at the third annual Great in Greenwich Awards.

Woolwich Town Hall played host to students, along with their families, to honour an incredible set of results the class of 2025.

Dressed to the nines, young people from schools across the borough were given an award having been nominated by their teachers for attainment or hard work and perseverance throughout their studies.

Councillor Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “These young people show what it means to Be Great in Greenwich.

“School can be hard – but our students put in weeks, months and years of hard work and it has paid off and then some. It was a privilege to see the pride on their faces, and to see what it meant to their families who were there to celebrate.

“Whatever the path now – college, university or heading off to work – I am so proud that their journey started here in Greenwich.

“A huge thank you to all our teachers who have supported students, not only with their studies but with their wellbeing as well. School is a home away from home and in Greenwich we’re lucky to have fantastic secondary schools and colleges right here on our doorstep.”

Cllr Khaireh was joined by the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Cllr Linda Bird, to welcome and meet students and their families.

2025 was a great year for Royal Greenwich schools. At A-level, we saw an increased number of students receiving A to B and A* to C grades. At GCSE level, nearly twothirds of pupils secured a pass in both maths and English, with almost half achieved a strong pass (Grade 5 or above).

Applications are now open for your child to attend a secondary school in the borough and to Be Great in Greenwich. Applications close on 31 October 2025.
