"one of our venues in Camden"
Posted 2:15pm
Lazza has been working flat out to get venues and dates for our interventions in Islington and Camden, as well as trying to get the best deals possible. We did not factor in any venue costs on our applications, so we are having to juggle our expenditure.
Thankfully we are doing well so far. We have managed to get provisional dates for fourteen of the nineteen dates, and know who we want to approach for the last five.
For Peabody - 2 dates - we have got a community centre in islington near to Old Street. We also have the dates arranged, and this could be a fantastic opportunity for us. I have also managed to get a meeting with their Community Programme Director, at their London Head Office, for January. They do have a fund we can apply to, but if we can get backing from the head office to any application you would hope that would have a favourable effect.
For Islington - 7 dates - i think we have managed to sort them all out - provisionally. For our three dates with the Barnsbury Job Centre we will be using a room at Voluntary Action Islington in March - this is a little expensive but a quality venue, and will look good in photos and feedback. For our three dates with Finsbury Park Job Centre we are hopeful to be using offices of Better Lives in Seven Sisters Road, and in return we will use remaining date to do a one day intervention with their clients.
For Camden - we have 10 dates to arrange. We have got five of them confirmed with the Living Centre, who have been very kind in their offer, although we will have to use Saturday afternoons. I am already looking at the client base, and will be using a Living Centre representative, Peter, to help, as well as approach a couple of medical centres in the area. The last five dates - still to arrange - need to be in the Regents park area. I have found a large medical centre and will be seeing them tomorrow to try and use their space, for Job centre plus their clientele.
