Agenda and minutes

Welcome to the Catford South Local Assembly

Marketplace Event

This Marketplace assembly event is different to our usual style of formal meeting, but we really hope you get a lot out of it and take your chance to have actual conversations with some of the amazing local groups and people helping deliver change in the area!
At this event you get to vote at this meeting on Projects you want to fund.

Use this opportunity to find out as much as you can about the big things happening locally soon. Details of all attendees are in the attendee booklet

Note: this announcement will be made on the night only if we can ensure counting accuracy in the timescale available.

We are very sorry that Science of Boxing were not funded this time, finishing in 8th Place – but we have assured them that we would like to continue to work with them to help provide activities for teens in our ward in future.

As is so often the case – the vote result was not straightforward and there was a 3 way tie for 7th place!
The loveliness of this community blows our minds – the 4 organisations who had applied for over £1,500 have all agreed to take a little less – so that each of the tied projects can be funded!

We are overwhelmed by the community spirit of you all – but not surprised in the least
