Events
Penge and Anerley Grassroots Network events
Held both in person and online, the meet-ups highlighted a shared belief that working together can boost visibility, sustainability, and volunteering.
Going forward, the network will host quarterly events to raise the profile of local grassroots work, strengthen connections between people and groups, and support peer learning and collaborative problem-solving.
“It was a fantastic opportunity to learn, network. Really energising.”
“I met people from completely different organisations to ours, but found ways we could work together and support each other.”
To find out about future plans for this and other networks, please email Mark at gdo@communitylinksbromley.org.uk
Free access to NHS spaces
The South East London Integrated Care Board and local partners are working together to make better use of NHS buildings by offering vacant rooms for free to grassroots VCSE organisations, giving them accessible space to run activities that support local communities.
To find out more about the rooms available, please contact Mark via GDO@communitylinksbromley.org.uk
