Chair’s announcements
The chair said that a Facebook group had been set up for Camberwell Community Council. It provided details of meetings and issues discussed along with funding opportunities such as the Cleaner, Greener, Safer programme. It was also an option for those wishing to give feedback on meetings.
Youth Community Council
Edward James, Youth Worker in South Camberwell, outlined some of the activities had taken place over a five week period during the summer:
- Trips to Madame Tussauds and the London Dungeon
- Healthy lifestyle sessions including cooking with less fat, salt and sugar in particular meals.
- French and Spanish sessions
- Workshops on hate crime, equality, photography and pottery.
Beat the Barriers, Millwall Community Scheme
Tom Rolt, Millwall Community Scheme, explained that a nine-week programme had taken place over the summer. This Beat the Barriers project was targeted at local estates, including the Lettsom and Southampton Way. The project included well attended and structured football sessions, inter-estate tournaments along with educational and social developmental workshops for young people. Several young ambassadors had been discovered on the estates. One young ambassador in attendance spoke about the positive effects of the project. He was now doing a training course with the Football Association.
Cleaner, Greener, Safer 2014/15 capital and revenue launches
Michelle Normanly, Senior Project Manager, explained that her team delivered the capital Cleaner, Greener, Safer (CGS) projects. Local groups and individuals were invited to submit their ideas for capital and revenue funding. The capital programme funds permanent improvements such as playgrounds, street lighting and community gardens. Revenue funding was for one-off projects such as gardening courses and grants to community organisations. Application forms were available in libraries and online via the Southwark Council website or by request from officers. In the Camberwell area £300,000 had been allocated for the capital and revenue programmes combined. The closing date was Friday 8 November 2013.
