Bilingual Advocacy Service
Our advocacy team provide black and minority ethnic communities throughout the borough with translation and support services through our contract with Lambeth Early Years. The work focused on families with children under five, in eight of the most common languages spoken by refugees and settlers in Lambeth: Somali, Amharic, Arabic, Tigrinya, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Polish. We encourage and support over 3000 clients p.a. to use and take full advantage of the services on offer in their local Children's Centres.
Portugese Advice and capacity Buildings project
With funding from the BIG Lottery, we run a Portuguese advice service (weekday mornings) and undertake community development work with Portuguese groups. We have established a new Portuguese Women's group, with clients volunteering on the Thrive Horticultural Therapy gardening project in Slade Gardens.
Stockwell Festival and Expo
The tenth Stockwell Festival will be held in Larkhall Park on 25th September 2010. We will also be hosting the second 'Expo' - a community engagement / consultation event for the council, NHS, and local voluntary organisations - at the festival.
Stockwell Forum
We are responsible for the delivery of the Stockwell Forum. which is regularly attended by 30+ local people. The forum is part of the Lambeth Forum Network, which is supported by Lambeth council. The Stockwell forums focus on local issues, and as well as providing opportunities for debate and discussion with professionals and councillors. Increasingly we wish to use the forums to celebrate Stockwell's vibrant and diverse community.
