Peckham Settlement SE-Village Showcase

27 September 2011 By Leave a Comment

SE-Village, the latest initiative to come out of Peckham Settlement – got off to a flying start with an exciting showcase event on 9 September 2011.  The event saw the local community of Peckham coming together to celebrate and share their great ideas for making Peckham a great place to live.

 The famous SE-Village sofa was on show, and Outreach and Development Worker Janet said: “The sofa is a nice, informal place to have conversation about your dreams and aspirations for a club or project in the locality of Peckham”.

 The event was aimed to give the opportunity for existing and new projects to showcase activities and clubs they had recently set up with support from the SE-Village team. So far there are well over 20 ideas being developed, from clothes restyling to mental well-being.  Arriving on the night everyone was given a ’Peckham Pound’ an alternative currency which was used to pay for food, or advice from the panel of experts.  

To find out more about SE-Village call: 020 7639 1823 or email: se-village@peckhamsettlement.org.uk / janet.bowens@peckhamsettlement.org.uk.

Riots Communities and Victims Panel – Call for Evidence

27 September 2011 By Leave a Comment

The Riots Communities and Victims Panel, officially launched on 16 September 2011 and is now calling for evidence.

The panel was set-up following the riots which affected English towns and cities in August. It will take a grass-roots approach, listening to the experiences of those in communities affected by the riots as well as hearing from academics, key debates and other reviews into the disorder.

The panel will look at:

  • the motivation for a small minority of people to take part in riots;
  • why the riots happened in some areas and not others;
  • how key public services engaged with communities before, during and after the riots;
  • what motivated local people to come together to take civic action to resist riots in their area or to clean up after riots had taken place;
  • how communities can be made more socially and economically resilient in the future, in order to prevent future problems; and
  • what they think could have been done differently to prevent or manage the riots.

 The panel will meet its aims and fulfil its remit primarily by speaking with communities and those affected by the riots. It will collect evidence in many different ways, including public meetings, discussions with key organisations (like councils, businesses and community groups), emails, letters, and chats with local people and businesses.

The panel is very interested to hear from the voluntary and community sector and would ask you to encourage your individual members to contribute to the panel’s work as well.

People can submit evidence to us or view our visit schedule at our website: riotspanel.independent.gov.uk or contact us via our email address: riotspanel@communities.gsi.gov.uk.

All our evidence will be published on this website, unless there is a good reason not to do so.

The panel intends to submit its interim report to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition in November, which is likely to focus on highlighting the evidence that has been gathered to date and the future key lines of enquiry; and in March the final report, which will make recommendations as appropriate.
