Lambeth Council has won a Cultural Impact Award for £200k for its project Lambeth – Next Generation. Lambeth will work with young black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) Londoners to help them develop careers in the arts – inspiring the next generation of artists and cultural leaders. It will be supported by major cultural institutions across the borough including the South Bank Centre, Old Vic, BFI and the National Theatre.
Feast starts up again on Sunday 1 April (10am-4pm) and is then held the first Sunday of every month until December 2018. Feast is run almost entirely by volunteers; a team of local people comes together each year to 'make West Norwood an even better place to live'. It is volunteers who book the hundred or so market stalls, who organise the free activities, who schedule the musical performances. This is a pretty impressive thing, but they can always do with more help!
2018 is set to be an exciting year for the StreetWorks scheme - the community led project which is making improvements to Norwood Road and the one-way system in Tulse Hill. For the next couple of months we will be putting the finishing touches to the improvements along Norwood Road. We will need your further help with this, as we want to know where benches, bins and trees should go. More information on this will be coming soon.
