A summary report of the planning meeting for the Lmabeth NHW Association on 31st March was sent to all on the NHW participants database. Please reply to this or e-mail development@lambethnhwa.co.uk if you would like a copy.

The main points not covered in that report are:

The Neighbourhood Watch structure will be mapped onto the Safer Neighbourhood Panels with all groups sending representatives to meetings and the police asked to ensure that both Ward and Borough meetings to monitor progress and pick up on concerns are scheduled quarterly in advance to enable discussion on local co-operation to be pre-planned.

Neighbourhood Watch Week . The incidents in Clapham over the Easter Break highlighted the need to identify and work with those already planning youth engagement activities after the exam season and use the week to help publicise, promote and build on these.

The police have no plans for a summer youth camp this year.

The Council has announced the following:

HAF (Holiday Activities & Food) programme: targeted for benefits tested Children & Young People (CYP) eligible for Free School Meals aged 4 – 16

Lambeth MADE summer programme

Elevate (including SEND specific projects) Summer Programme

Youth Justice Summer Programme (applications appear to have already closed)
