We have had our funding renewed for another year through the Lambeth Forum Network, so we are currently planning our activities over the next few months. Right now is a difficult time to get everybody together because of holidays, but we have booked a general meeting for all Forum members on Monday 25 September, 7 pm at the Advocacy Academy in Vining Street, SW9.<\/strong> . In the meantime, please get in touch if you want to present your project to the Forum, or raise an issue for discussion, or suggest a topic where you need more support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wonder why some organisations often appear here and yours does not? If you are doing something locally, why not tell us about it? We love to hear about events that are coming up, but we are also happy to record your achievements as well. We try to feature a range of local organisations, and to provide information that is likely to interest the wider Brixton community
Please send information for future bulletins to the Forum Secretary at apiperbrix@aol.com<\/a> – preferably by the 5th of the month so we can publish by the 10th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have not seen these bulletins before – or for a while – you can get on our mailing list by e-mailing to admin@brixtonneighbourhoodforum.org<\/a> Use the same contact to tell us if:- You want to add a colleague or neighbour to the mailing list;- You want these bulletins sent to a different e-mail address, so you can see them earlier or more reliably;- You have moved away, or are no longer interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
