The council has secured a modest level of funding to run annual arts and cultural events. The intention is that the funding for each event will reduce over a two-year period by which time the events will have gathered sufficient momentum to be financially self-supporting.

Priority will be given to proposals that demonstrate:

• community involvement and engagement

• quality and excellence
• Ideas that can build on and become part of the local events calendar for years to come.

The work created must culminate in a public event to be held in Nunhead between 2013 - 14  (see website www.lovenunhead.co.uk for more information on the area) .

Process: Southwark Council and the partnership group will review all project proposals.
