Norwood Forum is seeking enthusiastic new volunteers to help their local community in the Gipsy Hill, Knights Hill, and Thurlow Park Wards. Our tag-line is ‘Connecting the Community’ and the Forum actively engages across a wide range of issues from local planning, creative projects, and crime reduction, through to supporting many local groups, such as youth and pensioner organisations.

Whether you have never volunteered before, have loads of experience or only recently begun helping your neighbours during Covid-19 and would like to do some more – we are interested in your fresh ideas, perspectives and skills.

Our current work has focussed on signposting Coronavirus information and support, and forming partnerships to facilitate that, but we are also working on lots of other projects including a celebration of local history with a local Blue Plaque scheme, our Community Safety Partnership, and our Window Wanderland festival in October. As we can't organise public meetings at the moment, we have also running live-streamed virtual ‘Community Conversations’.

We have a strong on-line presence including a website and a regular e-newsletter, and a small budget to fund local community activities. 

If you are interested in finding out more, please email us: info@norwoodforum.org explaining why you are interested, the skills you can bring and if there are any areas of interest you would particularly like to work on. For further information please see our website: www.norwoodforum.org for a fuller picture of the work that we do.
