Carol Chandrasakera – WEP Supporter, Volunteer And Friend

We are very sad to announce that Carol Chandrasakera, a long-term WEP volunteer, has died suddenly of a heart attack. Carol volunteered with our health and wellbeing service since 2015 and was a founder member of the Regent's Park Singers. In all those years, Carol was always in good spirits, loved singing and kept us all organised and informed about what was going on. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

WEP Regent’s Park Walk – Join Us!

I’m sure everybody’s really looking forward to resuming face-to-face activities! It is amazing what we’ve been through in the last year; surviving the lockdown is surely a reason to celebrate. It’s finally time to meet up and socialise! We could all do with a bit of fresh air and some good company, which is why we’re organising a leisurely celebratory walk on Tuesday 25 May 2021, suitable for all fitness levels. Our plan is to stroll along our glorious Regent's Park, which is certainly full of pleasant surprises and represents a constant source of inspiration for locals and tourists alike, as well as incredible photo opportunities. Many people visit the park all year round, stop there for refreshments, relax on the benches or lie on the grass and enjoy the views and the peace and quiet, or simply watch the world go by. One can never get tired of exploring this impressive park, enjoying the variety of its landscaped gardens and everything else it has to offer, and the list of options seems to be endless. It is perhaps not easy to imagine that it was once the Forest of Middlesex and a royal hunting ground teeming with deer during Henry VIII’s reign! A couple of centuries later it was divided into farms that supplied with milk and hay. By 1811 when George IV became Prince Regent, London development had reached what had once been isolated farmland. The Park now contains London Zoo, ornamental gardens, sport facilities, Open Air Theatre, playgrounds, cafés and an artificial lake that attracts a large number of birds and water fowl. One of the unique things Regent’s Park has to offer is Music for Trees. It is a free app offering original pieces of music, specially composed to be listened to under the trees in an area of Regent’s Park, and it gives you an opportunity to discover the calming and immersive combination of nature and sound. Inspired by one of Regent’s Park’s tree specialists, a collaboration was established with the Royal Academy of Music, who created compositions based on each tree. You can see the trees up close in a new way, learn more about them through the information on the app, or just close your eyes and let the music take you away.

Interested in joining our walk? Email [email protected] to book your place.

WEP Black Dog Theatre Creation Update

I hope that everyone is still keeping well. Over the past couple of weeks we have been working with Artist Jacob Anderson from the Central School of Speech and Drama.

Here are some little pictures from our masks “in working progress”.

We're always looking for new members so if you enjoy learning new creative skills, performing, meeting new people and having fun then please do get in touch. Our workshops currently run on Zoom on Tuesdays 1.00pm - 2.00pm. Email: [email protected]

Mission: Playground Murals

Mission: Invertebrate is a project aiming to enrich wildlife in the Royal Parks, some of the largest and busiest greenspaces in London. Together we are improving habitats in our parks, conducting research, and putting on engagement events to spread the word – all to help invertebrates thrive!

This year Mission: Invertebrate have commissioned two colourful and creative invertebrate-themed murals that celebrate the fantastic biodiversity of The Regent’s Park. The murals showcase the park’s unique flora and fauna and will cover the walls of the toilet block adjacent to the recently reopened Gloucester Gate Playground. The south-facing wall will depict daytime animal species, such as butterflies, dragonflies, and birds, while the north- facing wall will feature nocturnal species such as bats, hedgehogs, and moths. The artists commissioned to paint the mural is well-known street artist ATM and Karen Francesca, whose work adorns walls across the country. They are committed to raising awareness of endangered species and inspiring people to engage with nature.

These visually striking murals are the perfect complement to the redesigned playground. In 2019/20 the space underwent a complete transformation that saw the old, flat, and metal playground replaced with an accessible and modern space made from natural materials such as wood, rope, bark and willow, and interspersed with hedges, trees, flowers and grass. The artworks are fun and accessible and represent a new way for visitors to connect with nature and wildlife. We hope that visitors young and old will be inspired to discover and protect the wildlife of The Regent’s Park and the diverse habitats across the park where they make their homes.

Camden Clean Air Cycle

Camden Clean Air, is a not-for-profit organisation working to improve air quality in Camden through a number of initiatives, including promoting sustainable travel and other traffic reduction measures.

On Sunday 30 May 2021, 10.00am – 4.00pm, to celebrate the start of Bike Week 2021, we are organising The Camden Clean Air Cycle. This is a bike ride for the whole community to take part in, regardless of a rider's level, to celebrate cycling, cleaner air, and the Borough of Camden.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be encouraging a mass meet-up of riders. Instead, all participants will be able to complete the cycle ride at any point on Sunday 30 May 2021, between 10.00am and 4.00pm. The ride is 22km around Camden (however there is no obligation to complete it whatsoever). This is very much a non- competitive, family-oriented run. We have a number of coffee shops sponsoring the event, who will expecting any riders that would like to stop for a coffee, bite or drink on route.

Mary Augusta Ward – Social Reformer And Novelist

Mary Ward was born in 1851 in , Australia. The family moved to England when she was five years old. Her father Tom Arnold was a professor of literature, his brother was the famous poet , and their father a headmaster of . Mary grew up in and . In 1872, just before she was 21, Mary married Humphrey Ward, a tutor and fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford University. She taught herself six languages and developed an interest in social and educational service, as well as literature. She supported the opening up of Oxford University to women and was a member of the Lectures for Women Committee with whom she formed the Association for the Education of Women. In 1879 Mary was involved in the preparations of opening Somerville College, one of the first women’s colleges at Oxford. Her younger sister Julia attended this college, graduating in 1882; one of Julia’s four children was . In 1881 Mary, her husband and their three children moved to London, a large house in Russell Square where they lived for ten years. Under her pen name of Mrs Humphrey Ward, Mary wrote articles for periodicals, a book for children, and over 20 novels which became popular in Britain and then in the United States. The novels reflected a strong sense of Christianity and Victorian values; her most popular selling over a million copies was Robert Elsmere (1888), which discussed a Christianity based on social concern. She was involved in founding educational settlements for the poor, as part of the settlement movement, first at Marchmont Hall and then the Mary Ward Settlement (originally the Passmore Edwards Settlement, renamed after Mary’s death) opening in 1898, on Tavistock Place in Bloomsbury. This is now known as the . Its mission was to provide education, social discourse and debate, arts, music and culture. Over time the settlement expanded to classrooms equipped for children with disabilities, being one of the first in England. It also pioneered the importance of play within children’s education, developing the first play centre. Although an advocate of women’s education she did not support women’s right to vote. In 1908 she was asked to be the first president of the Women’s National Anti- Suffrage League, for which she created and edited the Anti-Suffrage Review. During Mary became the first woman journalist to visit the trenches on the Western Front, and wrote three books between 1916-1919 as a result of this experience. Mary died a year later in London in 1920.

The captain of a ship was telling this interesting story: "We travelled the sea far and wide. At one time, two of my sailors were standing on opposite sides of the ship. One was looking west and the other one east. And at the same time, they could see each other clearly." How can that be possible? Answer to last week’s puzzle: At first, there were 2 pears on the tree. After the wind blew, one pear fell on the ground. So, there were no pears on the tree and there were no pears on the ground.
