Age UK Lambeth hosted one of Lambeth Palace’s Open Garden Parties on Friday 1 July for the second year. Panagiotis Balalas said: “We are extremely happy to report that we exceeded last year’s fundraising goal, bringing in more than £3,500. The gardens were filled with more than 350 attendees who enjoyed the music, drinks and selection of delicious food donated by local businesses and the Clapham Women’s Institute. Special thanks goes to Fuzion Cello & Piano Duo for their beautiful music, the Mayor of the London Borough of Lambeth Saleha Jaffer for her continued support, Greggs Brixton for their cake donation and Sainsbury’s Brixton Station Local for their volunteers and kind donation of £200.”
