Celebrate – England: Funding – Big Lottery Fund

Six out of ten people surveyed* say they cannot remember ever coming together to celebrate with their community. The Big Lottery Fund wants to help change this with our Celebrate! programme.

We are offering grants of between £300 and £10,000 for groups to hold one off events or activities which celebrate their local community.

You could celebrate something from your community’s history or a local hero. Or maybe it’s a chance to bring people together to get to know their neighbours better.

You can apply if you are a:

· voluntary or community organisation with a constitution and bank account
· school
· statutory body.
We are especially keen to receive applications from groups who have not applied to us before.

You will also need to show that your project is open to everyone in your local community.

We will give higher priority to applications from:

· projects which demonstrate communities coming together to celebrate and share their diverse cultures
· projects which actively bring different generations together.
We will fund activities that bring people together to celebrate their local community.

In your application we would like to know

· how the project will bring people together in the community to celebrate.
· why the activity is something your local community wants and how you can demonstrate it is led by the people within it.

Heads up! Grab your FREE family ticket to the Big Park Sleepover!

Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign at Spacehive, the Big Park Sleepover 2016 is on!

We’ll have lots of activities including foraging and cooking, bushcraft, plant art, and circus skills as well as lots of games and fun. Bedtime is 10pm and we will ask all participants to strictly respect the curfew.

The Big Sleepover is a joint project between Father Nature and Myatt’s Fields Park Project (MFPP), with support from the London Regiment & Army Cadet Force who will provide stewards, overnight patrols and camping equipment.

Ange Mukeza: visual artis

My name is Ange Mukeza and I’m a visual artist currently working on a project called ‪#‎wonderworld‬ and i will be participating in two events in Camberwell

Camberwell Green Park opening, Saturday 16 July is going to be a celebration event at the park, as we say “Hello Camberwell Green”.

Camberwell fair, 20th August: Camberwell Fair 2016 is a free-entry, one-day music festival and market showcasing the cultural diversity of Camberwell, we will have a live music stage, community stage, dance workshops, games, and market with local businesses running pop-up stalls. The 2016 edition is scheduled to take place in Burgess Park (Walworth Road end), with capacity of 3500, with 7500 people expected over the course of the day.

I will be live painting and asking the public to paint alongside with me. we are looking to mount the final piece and find a final resting place for it. being site specific each piece is unique to the community that created it with the artist. so we want the final piece to have a home in the community where it was created. and this is where we need your help. If you have any suggestions or can help in anyway your help would be much appreciated.

#Wonderworld is an art project that seeks to create a conversation between the artist and the public to explore what happens when the artist directly engages with its audience in the process of creating their work. The project promotes the innovative use of public engagement within the arts

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or further discussion
And don’t forget to come along on both events to put your mark down on the canvas.

Kind Regards

Invitation to participate in the Future High Streets Forum Focus Group on Local Partnerships

Invitation to participate in the Future High Streets Forum Focus Group on Local Partnerships

LET US HAVE YOUR VIEWS

University College London has been commissioned by the Future High Streets Forum to help build an understanding of the views and experiences of people working with local partnerships in running their local town centres.

SE5Forum has been identified as having a wealth of knowledge and experience of working within a successful local partnership and we are keen to learn more about how your partnerships operates, what you see as the key opportunities for your local area and to hear about the barriers that are limiting what you are able to take forward and how these barriers could be overcome.

The focus group will take place on:
Friday 8th July 2016, 14:00 – 16:30
Room 101, Development Planning Unit
University College London
34 Tavistock Square
London, WC1H 9EZ

What we learn from the focus group will be used to develop a wider survey of local partnerships. The findings of both the focus groups and survey will then be used to develop good practice of local partnerships, identify ways in which town centres and high streets can be improved and will aid the Government in formulating and delivering policies that will support local areas in the longer run.

We are anticipating that people at the focus group will be drawn from a wide range of backgrounds including town centre managers, local authorities, businesses and services as well as those from the voluntary sector. We hope that you will be able to join us.

Spaces in the focus group are limited to confirm your place please contact the session facilitator Dr Margarethe Theseira via email m.theseira@ucl.ac.uk or call her on 07795 616892

Camberwell police officers joined forces with Southwark Council to remove 40 vehicles for traffic infringements on a congested residential street.

Camberwell police officers joined forces with Southwark Council to remove 40 vehicles for traffic infringements on a congested residential street.
Southwark Council parking officers led the double-day of joint-enforcement action on Camberwell Station Road earlier this month.
The Camberwell Green Safer Neighbourhood Team also provided seven officers and one sergeant to ensure the operation was carried out safely and efficiently.
Camberwell Green’s dedicated ward officer, PC Mark McKay, said: “Residents had raised concerns with myself about vehicles in this road causing a nuisance for residents through various traffic violations.
“As a result, working with our partners at Southwark Council to support joint-enforcement in this area is now a ward priority for Camberwell Green.
“I’m delighted to say that through our joint efforts we have made a positive impact on the area, with 40 vehicles removed.
“We will also be monitoring the situation in the road in the coming weeks and acting on information passed to us.
“Finally, I would like to thank members of the community who raise this important issue with us.”
Camberwell Green SNT can be contacted by emailing CamberwellGreen.SNT@Met.police.uk

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers

By Admin SE5 Forum27 June, 2016Uncategorised

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers

It is almost a tradition here at SDCAS that some of our clients, volunteers and patrons are running as a team in the 10k London Vitality Run to raise money for the Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers.

Due to funding cuts (through which we lost Â£38,000) we are this year even more reliable on private donations and sponsoring events like the run. Our target for the run is Â£ 3,000 so we were wondering if one of you would like to join our team of runners this year as we still have one free place? And it would be amazing if you could help our runners to raise money for the Day Centre!

Please see the link to our JustGiving webpage below, where people can easily donate online.

Our JustGiving link for the donation webpage for the run is:
