WHAT IS CROYDON SHARED?
An online archive of work from Croydon residents to capture life in Croydon post 23rd March 2020. Lockdown has impacted our lives and we want to collect these experiences and document them on our Instagram. Be it a photo, drawing, painting or poem, we are calling for you to submit your work to share with us here on Croydon Shared.…

Since this whole Lockdown madness, I’ve realised I live near quite a few woods which I never knew existed before. So during my daily walks, I’d find a wood, meet someone who told me about another one, and another one etc. I thought to myself what I could I do during my daily walk to motivate / uplift others during their walks?…
