From March to May 2022, over 1200 voluntary organisations responded to a survey on charity banking. The results have produced a wealth of detailed information about the issues charities are facing. Click here to see the results.

Presenting information to a crowd is an art form. Some people are natural at swooning an audience but for the rest of us, giving presentations takes practice. The good news is, presenting confidently in front of a crowd; be it a small group at work, or in front of hundreds of people, does not have to be complicated. In fact, presenting is a very learnable skill.

Join us at the H&F Enterprise Club on Wednesday 13 July to grow your confidence in public speaking. As it’s the end of term will also be providing complimentary drinks and nibbles.

TfL are consulting about proposals to make changes to bus routes into central London and would like to hear your views. The changes being consulted on are intended to cause as little disruption to passengers as possible, while making the savings required by the Government.

TfL have done a detailed review of London’s bus network, to achieve these significant financial savings. As part of this work, they have reviewed key bus corridors from the north, south, east, and west into the centre of the city. This is because demand has reduced over the years on some roads leading into central and inner London due to changing travel patterns which have been accelerated by the pandemic. 

For further information, to see which bus routes are included in our proposals and to complete our online survey, please visit https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/busreview

Alternatively you can submit your response to TfL by email or in writing (no stamp needed) to:

  • haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk; or
  • FREEPOST TFL HAVE YOUR SAY (CLBR)
  • Or you can telephone us on 020 3054 6037 to leave your name and contact number and we will call you back. Quote ‘Bus Review’ when leaving your message.

Consultation closes Tuesday 12 July 2022

TfL are keen to hear from anyone that wants to comment on this consultation.  Please do pass on these details to your own contacts as you may find appropriate.

Please do not hesitate to contact TfL on the above email with any questions, or if you require any further information.
