Building on the success of the 2023 summit, the 2024 West London Youth Careers Summit will once again gather key stakeholders from across West London to promote deeper collaboration between employers, skills providers, and the voluntary sector to enhance youth employment opportunities in West London.

The event will bring together over 250 attendees, including career leaders, senior leadership teams from schools and colleges, employers of all sizes, youth employment service providers, and local council representatives.

Whether you’re an employer, representing a school/college, local council, or youth service provider, your participation is key to creating a cross-sector roadmap that will boost youth employment, economic growth, and productivity in West London.

Are you interested in fire safety? Would you like to help improve the way the London Fire Brigade engages with local communities?

London Fire Brigade is looking to launch a number of local community forums to help make sure London’s communities are at the heart of everything we do.

We are looking for members of the community from across London to help us design the processes and future model for these new local community forums.

We would like to hear from you if you:

• Are interested in fire safety
• Want to help shape the way we engage with local communities in the future
• Can share your ideas at meetings and take part in a small amount of project work
• Are passionate about speaking up for seldom heard communities
• Want to help design a local forum model which represents all Londoners.

The London Fire Brigade currently has a central community forum that meets monthly to help shape our services. We want to develop local forums to help shape our services at a local level and to do this we are setting up a Steering Group to design the future model for local community forums.

The Steering Group will meet weekly for 11, two-hour sessions at London Fire Brigade Headquarters in Southwark to co-design the processes and future model of local forums. The project will run from September to November 2024 . We can reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for attending meetings. All participants will receive a certificate of achievement recognising their contribution to the project.

If you are interested, please contact Wendy Bohan, Community Engagement Team, on 07395 369 268 or email community.engagement@london-fire.gov.uk by 16/08/24 for an initial chat.

In collaboration with Hammersmith and Fulham Council and health care sector, Sobus is one of several organisations involved in co-producing the “Building Trust” initiative in Hammersmith and Fulham.

As a consequence of covid-19, from the dialogue with residents, it was noted that particular groups of residents in Hammersmith and Fulham shared concerns of their lived experiences of inequalities in health and care systems.

The Building Trust Project is seeking to create a shared understanding of the difficulties and realities of disempowered communities through initially hosting a number of Listening Events throughout the borough. The aim is to conduct a range of Listening Events with different communities from wide demographics. The initial Listening Events will be with residents from the African and African-Caribbean communities.

Sobus will be hosting the Listening Event on Tuesday 25^th July 2023 between 1:30pm – 4pm.
