LGBT Design Competition
A new art competition is announced for young people who live, work, learn and/or socialise in Southwark.
The competition is an opportunity for schools, colleges, youth groups and individuals (aged 11 – 25) to create a piece of artwork that looks at and/or demonstrates the positive contributions that members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) community make.
I would like to encourage any young people you know to take part. They can be a group, a class, individuals and/or youth groups.
There are some great money prizes to win, plus a chance for a selection of the entries to be part of an exhibition that will take place in Southwark in February 2009 as part of the 5th national LGBT History Month.
We are hopeful that through the project, young people will be more aware of the positive contributions that the LGBT community make and hopefully break down some barriers between communities.
Further information on the project can be found at:-

You and Your Money: How to Manage Money in the Credit Crunch
A new booklet 'You and Your Money' is now available providing positive and practical advice on managing the household budget and dealing with debt. The booklet is a self-help resource but also provides details of where people can go to get free help in Southwark. It contains information about the difference between priority and other forms of debt, and also fuel poverty, affordable credit and potential financial help in the form of grants, loans and state benefits.
We know that bills are rising and budgets under pressure. This booklet makes it easier for people to get the information they need to help themselves, or where further help is available free of charge locally.

Brochure on Extended services in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe
Bermondsey and Rotherhithe Area Management along with the Extended Service Coordinators for the two areas have designed a brochure on Extended Service provision within the locality. It contains a map of the area with information and locations of various parts of the Extended Services core offer such as child care, parental support, a varied menu of extra curricular activities and advice and guidance.
By 2010 every school is expected to become an extended school. Schools are not expected to provide all parts of the core offer themselves on the school site but will have to direct parents and families to the relevant services. The purpose of this map is to signpost the range of extended services and activities on offer. It is a resource for children, young people, parents and practitioners to provide the core offer to residents of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe.
There will be large poster versions along with fold up brochures displayed in all schools, libraries, children centres and other community venues in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. Every school pupil will be given a brochure to take home from school. The work was funded by Neighbourhood Renewal.
If you require copies please contact Ben Skelton on 020 7525 090
