Norwood Forum committee members joined local gardeners to spruce up the circular bed on the corner of Harpenden and Norwood Roads.  Previously the space had been used as a private car park until it was converted by the Streetworks team into a green space maintained by the community.  Hopefully for drivers stuck at the temporary lights this will prove a pleasant distraction.  If anyone would like to adopt the bed and tend it on a regular basis do let us know: info@norwoodforum.org.  

This winter the Upper Norwood Library Hub is hosting a Christmas Fair on 14 and 15 December 2019. This will include a Christmas Market, Handmade Games Arcade, fully licensed bar with mulled wine and mince pies, other food treats and of course a Santa’s Grotto. The focus will be on not only bringing people to shop but also to socialise.

Stall holders are sought selling Christmas gifts from handmade crafts, candles, beauty products, vintage wares and fashion, antiques, locally made chutneys/jams/cheese/beer plus art, Xmas wreaths/Christmas trees, Christmas decorations.

The following small grants funding is available for local people running projects:

Community Connectors are local people who link others in their local community with activities and organisations that can help improve their quality of life.
