What we’ll be exploring…
Stories & Heritage
Exploring family histories, lived experiences and community knowledge.
Leadership & Voice
Supporting people to contribute ideas, influence change and build stronger connections.
Culture & Legacy
Creating opportunities to celebrate, document and pass on cultural knowledge for future generations.
Why this matters
Over the last two years, conversations across Southwark have highlighted a shared desire for stronger community ownership, leadership and cultural preservation.
This new programme builds on those conversations and creates opportunities for people to come together, share knowledge, celebrate heritage and shape what comes next.
