Deptford Cinema is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit cinema.

It has been showing all kinds of films – new and old, UK and from around the world – and programming is done at public meetings (every Sunday, 4pm), where people can propose films and then, with support, programme them.

Discount tickets are offered to Brockley residents , and any Brockley resident will automatically qualify as a concession. Also anyone who

would normally qualify as a concession will be able to attend for free! All you need to do is bring some proof of eligibility (any letter addressed to you, or any card or document showing eligibility for a concession if that applies).

·         Evergreen project – Claire Pitter

Claire Pitter explained that between August and November 2015, the Evergreen project delivered 3 out of 6 events; 2 Coffee mornings at Leander Community Centre and a Dementia awareness seminar:

  1. Dementia awareness seminar – 8 August 2015 – guest speakers from the NHS and Lewisham Mindcare – held at the Tabernacle Church
  2. Coffee Morning – 25 September 2015 incorporating Macmillan Coffee morning held at Leander Community Centre
  3. Coffee Morning – 27 November 2015 – held at Leander Community Centre.

These events were widely advertised throughout Brockley, the Leander Community Centre and Lewisham borough in local churches and shops.

They are planning a pamper session for seniors at the Leander community centre instead of a Christmas dinner and will hold a further 3 coffee mornings in 2016.

  

·         Brockley Saturday School - Marie Aurelie

The Saturday School Club gave children the chance to maintain and  progress their academic levels over the half term and summer holidays.

They tutored over forty children during the school summer holidays and the half term break and were open  from 10am-4pm every Saturday throughout the school holidays.

Parents appreciated the fact that this was provided completely free of charge.

The club provided Maths, English and Language Tuition.
