With plenty of celebrations throughout the year creating a burst of community lead outdoor events and activities across Southwark, parks and open spaces will come alive with everything from Street parties, outdoor film festivals and fun days, to community sports competitions, fetes and live performances.

To help you plan ahead and be part of the summer’s festivities, Southwark Events and Arts Service are offering a series of new dates for our popular events management training course, Revealed.

Revealed is a two day event management course offered free to Southwark-based individuals or groups who are planning to run a public outdoor event in Southwark. You will gain an overview of the essentials of delivering a safe, legal, inclusive and fun event that runs smoothly and is an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

The course will be presented by Entity Events Ltd, led by Janice Hunte, who has worked in the Events Industry for over 20 years as an Events Manager within Local Authorities.

During the Revealed you will be taken on a journey to support your own event plans and will cover event planning, project management, venue selection, marketing, licensing, production of your events documentation, health and safety and the critical elements of legislation that must be applied to your event.

Revealed is interactive and will provide practical solutions to the many hurdles faced when planning an event. There are many tips, hints and methods we will share with you to enable you to successfully plan your event so we hope that you come and join us.

BVAG & Old Bermondsey Forum

Open Meeting

Wednesday 27 January 6.30pm Globe House SE1 3JW

——————————————————————————–

The Council’s consultation on the draft ‘New Southwark Plan preferred option’ is due to close on 12 February. This meeting will discuss representations to be submitted by BVAG and by OBVNF. In the context of the Forum’s current efforts to evolve policy more responsive to local interests it is important that we do everything possible to ensure that the Southwark Plan does not take shape to thwart our policy initiatives before they emerge. Needless to say, our followers will need to have read the parts of the Draft Plan in which they have an interest if we are to put forward considered responses. Anyone with suggestions but who cannot make the meeting is invited to send their comments by email reply to this mailout.

BVAG will focus on its established interest in conservation, heritage and architectural quality in the local context and consideration of how applicable current draft policy might be strengthened, improved or refined.

Also on the Agenda will be a review of the responses to the OBVNF our questionnaire and wider issues of policy proposals in the draft Plan will be considered by the Forum as a whole.

All our meetings are open to everyone.

Come along and see this exhibition of research CASS students have completed on the elements of the community that is encompassed in the new Opportunity Area around the Old Kent Road. Discuss with the students, hear their views on how the area might change and identify those things you want to keep as part of conserving the existing community. This is an interesting piece of work that will get you thinking and help you understand the business, retail, restaurants, green spaces and varied housing that makes up this vibrant part of London.

The exhibition will be inspiration in thinking about ways forward on how to engage with the Council and developers, as well as provide invaluable data for funding applications.

I hope to see you there.

Women's A5 flyer_Final

Street Elite is an employability programme for young women and girls aged 16 to 24 living in the borough of Southwark which uses sport, mentoring and community engagement to help raise aspirations and increase employability with genuine exit routes into employment. Participants get a free tracksuit and they get paid to turn up. The initial commitment is just for 2 hours 1 night a week.

I have attached a flyer for the programme and would be extremely grateful if you could distribute to young people within your network and other colleagues you think that you think would be appropriate.

Kind regards,

Lisa Cole
