Community Southwark

Keeping our great borough connected, and developing the tools to cultivate local activism

Thank you to everyone who came to our social action session last week. In the session we held a number of polls to gather some formative ideas on how we could continue to engage and support all the work you&#x27;re doing after lockdown. Community southwark are looking to build an inclusive, community action based network centred on the needs of its members. We will be looking to hear feedback and ideas on the best ways to communicate and engage with our communities. This session will also focus on sharing tips and experiences of handling the Covid-19 lockdown from our communities and mutual aid groups, what we can do to encourage our new (and old) volunteers to continue to stay involved in their community after lockdown ends, and how the community can engage in societies most pressing issues, like the Black Lives Matter movement, in a profound and meaningful way.The ultimate goal of the session is to keep our great borough connected and make a better future for our communities. This will be the first of many events in the future that will aim to address topical issues and provide practical ways that people can get involved.Who is this event for?This event is for Southwark&#x27;s volunteers (whether thats for an organisation or you are volunteering your time in your community but are not affiliated with an organisations, mutual aid groups.
