Summer Play Scheme

The Summer Playschemes held at Turney Special School in Dulwich was as popular with the children and parents as always. We are pleased to note that our numbers went up this year as we accommodated up to 27 children and young people on some days of the playscheme.

Clubs

Due to the funding cuts from Lambeth LFL has had to reduce the number of Saturday and Teen clubs, from four a month to just two a month. If you are being affected by these cuts we would like to hear how this is going to affect your lives.

After School Clubs

Yet again, we hope to improve the services we deliver to you and your families.  We are hoping to make some changes to our services for the better, taking into account our members wishes…do let us know how we are doing by make a big effort to attend the parent forums which are held monthly and will be joint, with South London Cross Road, Carers Hub.

Rosendale Allotment Project

We have a lot of new and exciting projects for you this quarter. Lambeth Family Link, hopes to have our own allotment where we can grow lots of fruits, herbs and vegetables for your table! How would you like to help us by voting for the organisation to be funded which would enable our children and young people to develop this project to the full whilst having fun, learning about plants, and getting physically fit in the out doors. Find out more.

Fun Day

Reach role model programme and fun day will be held on 27th November, so do come along and support this event.  We will have workshops, free gifts, celebrity’s specters, Caribbean food and lots more!

The REACH report highlighted the largely negative image of Black boys and young Black men in the media, and recommended action to improve the visibility of positive Black male role models at a national level. We know from research that when children lack positive role models in their lives, they will seek them from the world of fantasy and the media.

Research and anecdotal evidence also show the benefits to young people who come into contact with positive role models. They have higher expectations, are able to set personal goals and generally aim higher.

There will be lots of fun things to do over the next three months. Christmas outings, Pantomimes, presents from us to you. (find out more).

Fund raising Calendars

LFL would like to make it possible to make some money for our charity by selling 2011 calendars to family and friends, using the photos we have accumulated over the years of your children and your people having fun at our activities. We would like your permission to use these photos only for the purpose described. 

Office closure for the Xmas Holidays

Our office will close on the 23rd December and will reopen on 3rd January 2011.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
