Wandle Valley Forum was established in 2005 to bring together people and organisations that care for the River Wandle and its diverse network of open spaces and communities.  We are supported by over 100 community groups, voluntary organisations and local businesses.  We provide both a communications network and an independent voice for the different communities and organisations that make up the Wandle Valley Regional Park. 

The Wandle Valley Forum:
  • is the primary consultative forum for the Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust, four London boroughs, Greater London Authority and other statutory bodies on Wandle Valley issues
  • provides an independent voice which speaks out on issues that matter to the future of the Wandle
  • provides information and support through regular publication of Wandle News  and Wandle eBulletin and via twitter and Facebook
  • organises events and workshops which bring people together from across the Wandle Valley
  • feeds in views on planning policies and development proposals to protect and enhance the river and the surrounding Regional Park
  • provides two members of the Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust Board 

The Wandle Valley Forum Charter sets out the Wandle community's priorities and describes the distinct role of Wandle Valley Forum.  View it here and download and print it here.

Wandle Valley Forum held a Wandle Futures event on 17 October 2015.  This was attended by a wide range of community organisations, voluntary groups and lovers of the Wandle.  It included presentations by London National Park City, National Trust and Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust. These were followed by a workshop to shape future priorities for the Wandle. The top priorities identified are to:
  • support the Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust
  • amplify and link the voices of local groups and people
  • ​run a campaign to enlist all businesses along the river for funds and volunteering
  • complete the Wandle Trail
  • define the roles of the different Wandle organisations and integrate their activities
  • encourage meaningful commitment and joined up approach by the four local authorities - Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton and Croydon
