Calling Lambeth residents!

Hi Cathy  Please could you send this cry for help from Waterloo Action Centre round the KA mailing list?
 Many thanks
 Frances and Kerry
 

We are sending this as a member of the Management Committee and member of staff respectively of a nearby Community Centre in Waterloo as well as members of the KA.   Waterloo Action Centre (WAC) urgently needs your help.   It's the former library building, now a buzzing community centre, at the junction of Lower Marsh and Baylis Road, and we are excited to have been shortlisted for a £50,000 grant to generally revamp our building.


Twelve Lambeth projects have been divided into four bands of £100,000, £75,000, £50,000 and £25,000 as part of Lambeth Council's £250,000 'Your borough, your budget, your choice' competition.   The winning organisations will be decided by public vote, closing 30 November.   More details are included on page 11 of this week's edition (1 November) of Lambeth Life.  I’m asking if you would consider voting for us, particularly as the services are open to all Lambeth residents.

Waterloo Action Centre is the only organisation in the competition providing activities for older people, and the only organisation in the competition providing free general advice and free legal advice, needed in this austere times more than ever before, and much much more besides.  We are also the only organisation in the competition north of Brixton, other than the London Nautical School (band 4 - 4a), with whom we are developing intergenerational activities.

Please vote for Waterloo Action Centre at  http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/Services/CouncilDemocracy/Consultations/YourChoice.htm .  Click on your borough, your budget, your choice.   WAC is in Band 3 - 3b. 

If you prefer to text, text Lambeth, your first name and surname, your full postcode or secondary school and your choices, e.g. 1b, 2c, 3b, 4a to 07786 206 955

Voting closes on 30 November 2010.  

We'd be really grateful for your vote and also if you would encourage friends and neighbours living in Lambeth or attending Lambeth secondary schools to vote for WAC too, and invite us to community meetings.  For additional posters or flyers, please contact us, details below. 

Thank you
