🎄 Good wishes for 2025 from Kambala RA! 🎄
We’re thrilled to share the highlights from our Kambala Christmas Party and Grotto, held on December 21st. This festive celebration brought our community together and created magical memories for local children.
With the help of our very own Mr. and Mrs. Santa, we handed out over 100 gifts to delighted children, spreading joy and holiday cheer across Kambala.
A heartfelt thank you to Big Local and Battersea Alliance for generously funding this special event. We’re also incredibly grateful to our amazing volunteers, whose hard work and dedication made it all possible.
Here’s to continuing to strengthen our community in the year ahead. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a wonderful 2025! 🎅✨
On the 7th of November Elena Kidane was invited to Wandsworth Town Hall to receive a Prize, in a Gardening Competition for the “Private/Remote Garden Category”.
She won the 2nd Prize in this truly competitive competition.

Elena states –
“My garden was looked after by my husband, before. After he passed away 3 years ago, I try to maintain what he has done. That’s all.
It takes time, but in the summer it’s really nice to be in our garden.”
The invitation about her success in this Competition was sent by “Mr. Donovan R.” in an email and stated
“Dear Elena,
We are delighted to inform you that you have been selected as a winner in the recent gardening competition organised by Wandsworth Borough Council’s Housing and Regeneration Department. The judges were truly impressed by the creativity, beauty, and dedication you demonstrated in maintaining a vibrant and thriving private garden.”

Elena also added “I was the only person from Kambala Estate.
However I hope, that even more people can participate in future.”
Last May, the KERA Committee received a request from a resident, to install a bike hangar on the Estate, along with a request to rent two spaces.
The 1st KERA representative forwarded this request to the Resident Participation Officer – Vanessa Santos. A funding request was then raised, for a new Green Cycle Hangar. This was granted for installation at the entrance of Hicks Close, through approval from the Eastern Area Housing Panel, on July 8, 2024.

The new Green Bike Hangar was installed in August 2024 and is now fully operational.
If you would like to apply for
- a space or
- request an additional hangar in Kambala,
please contact KERA (Kambala Estate Resident Association) via email:-
