Last week we hosted the official in-person launch of the North (Brockley, Deptford, Evelyn, New Cross Gate, Telegraph Hill) Lewisham Neighbourhood Network (formerly the Lewisham VCS Neighbourhood Community Service) at The Bear Church, Deptford.

The event bought together local voluntary and community organisations, residents and partners to build connections, share ideas and learn about the support available through the Community Drop-in, Front Door team, INT Community Facilitators, Capacity Building Officers (CBOs) and Fundraising Development Manager (FDM).

The drop in is open every Monday 2-4pm, alongside Lewisham's Foodbank. in Deptford.

Thank you to all who made this happen and came along for the unveiling of our Lewisham Heritage plaque on 31st June. It was a wonderful morning hearing about the heritage of the Deptford Ragged School, The Shaftesbury Christian Centre and Princess Louise Institute.
Creating and installing a Lewisham Heritage plaque is a result of our Heritagefund Educating Deptford project.

Thank you to:
- The Deptford Deptford Ragged School Archive, particularly Katharine Alston and John Price.
- Heritage for the funding that has made this plaque possible
- Bear Cubs Parent and Toddler Group for the beautiful curtain
-Deptford Lounge for providing the chairs for the day

The exhibition has been up for a few weeks but here are some behind the scenes of Bear Cubs' pieces focusing on the theme of abundance.
