CLOSURE OF RIVERSIDE IT

 

RCDT regrets that it is having to close the Riverside IT project at 125 Lambeth Walk on Friday 28 September. Under Government financial rules Lambeth Council is no longer allowed to fund Estates Skills Partnership which has managed the project for the Trust since June 2004. It has not been possible to find alternative sources of funding for the Trust to take back management of the project.

 

The project was seen as one of the important initiatives funded under the former Lambeth Riverside SRB Programme which ended on 31 March 2004. Since the project opened in early 2004 nearly 400 exams have been taken at Riverside in CLAiT, ECDL and Literacy and Numercy. The loss of the two staff Liam Barnes and especially Ellen Russell (who has worked there since it opened) is particularly unfortunate.

 

This coming week Riverside IT remains open as a drop in Centre to use the computers and to get advice.

CITY FRAM 30TH ANNIVERSARY 20 OCTOBER. The Anniversary event will now be held on Saturday 20 October. There will be range of activities at the Farm. There will be supporting activities in St. Peter’s Church by Vauxhall Heritage Centre, a second-hand booksale, launch of a pamphlet on Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, a history walk (dependent on weather) and some history talks, and a Friends of Spring Gardens display about the next plans for the Gardens in St. Peter’s Church. RCDT will be contributing funding to the activities.

 

LAMBETH COMMUNITY CARE CENTRE NEEDS FRIENDS. LAUNCH MEETING Thursday 4 October. 6pm. A new voluntary community organisation, to be called The Friends of Lambeth Community Care Centre is being set up. It will replace an already established non-membership Centre Advisory Group (CAG), which has decided that there is a need to establish a more broad-based organisation involving a wider cross-section of the North Lambeth community. The purpose of the Friends organisation will be to support, protect and help develop the Care Centre, a half-way house between hospital and home, especially for those living alone and for the elderly. It is important that the Centre's contacts with the local community are strengthened, to ensure it provides the best possible service for all who need it. The Care Centre is run by the NHS Lambeth Primary Care Trust. The meeting will start at 6.30pm. Light refreshments, wine and soft drinks will be served from 6.00pm. The organisers hope you will come and join them. Monkton Street, Kennington, SE11 4TX. Note: The Centre Advisory Group organised the meeting at Roots and Shoots marking the 21st anniversary of the Centre as part of the July 2006 Lambeth Riverside Festival Local History Fair.

ART AUCTION. Kennington Association is in the process of organising its annual art auction to raise money for the Xmas Secret Santa project. Date and venue to be announced – hopefully early November. This year's organiser Cathy Hillier wants to add an extra dimension - to provide local artists with an opportunity to sell their work with a small commission going to the project. Details will be sent by RCDT to the LeftBank Artists network next week.
