The new leadership team would like to invite you to the Net Impact London Summer Social on Saturday, July 30th. We’ll start with a pub lunch in the lovely gardens of the Stag in Hampstead. Following lunch we’ll take a walk through the wonderful, wild, green spaces of Hampstead Heath. As we stroll through the heath we will engage in activities to learn about biodiversity, stimulate our creativity, and relax in nature.
