Explanatory Introduction

Minutes:

There are no formal notes as this was a marketplace event.  Please see the programme and list of organisations represented below.  The event showcased various organisations and activities providers based in the Sydenham Centre, including Ignition Brewery, a micro-brewery teaching people with learning difficulties how to brew and sell beer; Sydenham Arts,  a community arts organisation whose mission is to provide, promote and advance the Arts for the benefit of the public, in particular people who live, work and are educated in Sydenham and surrounding areas; and Yamille Herera, Salsa instructor who runs classes at the centre.

It was a lively and well-attended event with a range of dance and music to appreciate and join in with, together with face painting, balloons and games for children and young people. Around 20 local organisations held information stalls and engaged with over 100 people who live, work or learn in the ward.
