Dear Residents,
We hope you remain well and staying safe as we enter what will hopefully be the final months of lockdown.
We have recently switched from using Teams for our virtual Lambeth Made Community meetings to Zoom. We have done this because it allows for the smoother running of meetings and is more user-friendly. As with Teams, when you click on the Zoom link for the next Coldharbour meeting on Thursday 18 March you will be automatically directed to the Zoom app if you already have it, or else you will be prompted to download it.
Click here to join the meeting on March 18 .
We look forward to seeing you then,
Lambeth Made Community team

Dear Neighbour,
Last month’s fatal stabbing of 20-year-old Salem Koudou shocked and saddened us all as another young person in the borough lost their life to violence.
I’m writing to invite you to a meeting on Thursday September 3 that will be an opportunity to discuss community safety and recent events in your neighbourhood. It will take place online between 6-7.30pm on the Teams app, and you can join the meeting by clicking here :
In July, we launched the Lambeth Made Community initiative that saw us hold a series of meetings which allowed residents to discuss important community issues. Councillors and officers of the council have been present at these online events, alongside community and voluntary organisations, but the focus has been on listening to your concerns.
In autumn, the council will be launching its strategy for Lambeth Made Safer: a borough-wide public health approach to help young people impacted by violence and prevent violence against women and girls. Community involvement in this programme is vital as it will help to make Lambeth safer and give residents, organisations and councillors the chance to discuss local safety concerns and propose solutions.
There are a number of free online and telephone based support services for anybody who feels affected by violence in our communities. Please share this information with friends and family:
Young Minds provide support for young people experiencing loss and offers advice for parents (call 0808 802 5544 or visit youngminds.org.uk).
Kooth is Lambeth’s new online support service for young people offering support at weekends, and live chat support with professionals until 10pm.
Mind Ed (minded.org.uk) for Families provides support and guidance for parents.
Victim Support (0808 168 9291) provide a telephone support line and online support for parents, professionals and young people who have witnessed crime. Victim Support also have live online chat: victimsupport.org.uk/help-and-support/young-victims-crime
Contact Refuge on 0808 2000 247 if you are suffering from abuse by your partner and require discreet assistance.
Violent crime leaves too many of our young people unable to fulfil their potential and causes serious trauma to families and communities that will stay with them forever. I passionately believe in the strength of our communities and the value of the local bonds that tie our neighbourhoods together.
