You’ll have the opportunity to:

Meet and connect with local groups, organisations and community leaders.

Learn about available support, resources and funding opportunities.
-
Explore opportunities for partnership and collaboration.
-
Discover how stronger neighbourhood networks can help residents access local support and activities.
-
Celebrate the strengths and assets that make Lewisham a vibrant community.
-
Share your experiences and ideas about what helps local communities thrive.
They’ll also share key insights from the recent soft launch and baseline survey and discuss how they can work together to strengthen local support and connections.
To give as many organisations as possible the opportunity to attend, they kindly ask that no more than two representatives from the same organisation register for this event. If tickets are sold out, please join the waitlist.
