Hammersmith and Fulham Libraries and Archive Service are seeking expressions of interest from voluntary and community organisations based in or near the borough that have a space available to rent for the storing of archives; ideally long term. A room with a strong floor measuring 400 square metres is required (although the team are also open to a smaller space to house part of the collection) and any space would need to be repurposed to fit shelving, air conditioning and would need suitable access in order to bring in large pieces of furniture. There would be no public access to the room needed and the room would only be accessed by 2-3 professionals.
This is an ideal opportunity for organisations who are looking for alternate uses for spaces and are exploring new methods of generating long-term income. To express your interest please contact Priya Loomba at Priya.loomba@lbhf.gov.uk specifying:
Your organisation’s name and location
Room size
Confirmation that the room meets the above requirements
How long the space is available to rent for

LEARNING DISABILITIES AND AUTISM:
EQUALITY AND EMPOWERMENT CONFERENCE
There has been increasing acknowledgment as to the challenges that people with learning disabilities and/or autism face and the drive to ensure that individuals are not disadvantaged or have their life chances curtailed continues. However, further progress and improvements are needed to allow for people to be supported to achieve and reach full potential, rather than just be cared for.
For a short period only we will be offering a 20% discount on tickets. To claim your reduced price ticket all you need to do is register with the promo code LD20 or ask us to hold you a place while you await funding to be approved.
The Learning Disabilities and Autism: Equality and Empowerment conference will be no exception in providing a platform to improve the lives of individuals through a series of presentations, discussions, knowledge sharing and dissemination of best practice.
