PGTB Lifted Lockdown Members Meeting
On Friday 30th July 2021, many of our members met at our new location, Unit 32 Seeley Drive, SE21 8QR in the Kingswood Estate parade.
Regardless of the weather, we had a fantastic turnout and it was a pleasure to see everyone after the past 18 months!
During the meeting, members successfully collaborated and nominated a variety of activities and workshops to help the community recover from lockdown and to improve overall well-being.
If you have not already, sign up for our monthly bulletin which shall resume shortly and keep an eye on our calendar as we gradually add group, workshops and events.

NEED YOUR VIEWS ON THE FUTURE OF KINGWOOD HOUSE
Help us shape a brighter future for Kingswood House
We are keen to see Kingswood House become a vibrant centre of activity for people who live, work or visit the area.
We want to collect your views, ideas and aspirations on how we can make best use of this historic building. We also want to you to let us know how the library service and youth provision could be improved.
We think the building has the potential to host a broader mix of uses including workspaces and other activities, including business spaces to generate income to help support the running costs of the House.
If you live, work or visit the area, please spare a few minutes to fill in this survey, to shape a brighter future for Kingswood House.
This survey is being carried out by the regeneration south team at Southwark Council. We look forward to hearing from you by the closing date of 28 February 2021.

Time Bank Studio – Open Day!
See our new Time Bank Studio Space on our Open Day!
Time4Lambeth is opening a new Studio Space at the Carmelita Centre in Vauxhall, available on Mondays for local people to use to develop their own projects or enterprise ideas.
We’re having an open day and you’re invited!
This Studio is a rentable space with a twist however, as you ‘rent’ this space not by paying in money, but by giving your time to help others in the community.
The Studio Space is run on the principle of Timebanking. The Time Bank Studio Space will cost 1 time credit to use for 1 hour, and is designed to help local residents who have great ideas for community projects, groups, enterprises and businesses but don’t have any space to create them in, and can’t afford to rent a traditional studio. Local people can use the Studio Space for whatever ideas they have that they would like to develop, and can pay for using it by giving their time to help others in the community!
So for example someone might like to use the Studio Space to set up a dance class, and they could ‘rent’ it by giving the same time to help an older resident around the home, or somebody might like to use it as a workshop to make products for their new business, and they could ‘rent’ it by giving time to help out with local volunteering projects. Other members of the Time Bank can also help you grow your project idea by getting involved and co-producing it with you, and can even donate their hours to help pay for the space!
We’re completely open to any ideas local people have who would like to use the Studio Space. There’s really no limit to how people can use the space, so if you’ve got an idea you want to try out please do get in touch, no matter how large or small it is! Our only requirement is that people use the space in ways that benefit the local area and community, so for example using it to set up a community project or a local business.
Time4Lambeth will be hosting an open day at the Studio Space on Tuesday 20th March, from 10am-12pm, with a workshop beginning at 11am. The full address is the Carmelita Centre, 41 Vauxhall Walk, Vauxhall, SE11 5JT.
For more information can be found here, or to inquire about using the space please contact Time4Lambeth Coordinator, David Goslyn, at time4lambeth@pgtimebank.org or on 020 8670 0990.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you and supporting you to develop and grow your ideas!
