We have learnt that an application has been submitted for the listing of the Central Hill Estate as an outstanding example of social housing.

If you are eligible for a COVID vaccination and in the national cohorts one to nine, you can get your first dose of the COVID vaccination from a number of walk-in and pop-up clinics this week. The current list of additional COVID-19 vaccination pop-up clinics in South-East London can be seen here.
Firstly, some great feedback from Ros, a volunteer at last week's pop up vaccine centre in Brixton: "Inviting people for their vaccination on a sunny afternoon in Brixton and then later helping with crowd control at the library was so much fun and incredibly life affirming. It was a privilege to be allowed to help and I would be so pleased to do it again. I'd recommend it to anyone and will absolutely sign up the very next time I possibly can." This week's volunteering opportunities include joining our committee (and thanks to Team Lambeth for their kind words on our work):
The Power Of Festival, in partnership with leading camera equipment company Nikon and creative street advertising agency Jack, have launched a nationwide competition to find emerging black British photography talent, who capture what the Power Of Black Identity represents to them.
