Join us this Summer for a series of free science workshops and activities at The Invention Rooms! Create colourful chemical dye t-shirts, dig out dinosaurs, make your own musical instruments and more with our free STEM activities for families. We are offering two different types of sessions; Wednesday Science Workshops, which are two hour sessions where you can meet real scientists and learn more about our research through creative challenges and Thursday Create and Make Science sessions which will have a more relaxed feel, and be more suitable for our youngest visitors. This summer we are also introducing big builds, which will have a large community feel as we work together as a group to make something huge! Below you’ll find the details of the first two weeks and we will be releasing the final three weeks in the beginning of August. If you have any questions about the activities or if you prefer not to book via Eventbrite you can get in touch with me at s.allen-turner@imperial.ac.uk.

In this newsletter we will share information with you about the latest funding opportunities and news from The London Community Foundation and the sector: Click here
For survivors of violence against women and girls – particularly those from minoritised and marginalised communities – stigma, shame and isolation create barriers to support. This, coupled with additional unmet needs, can make the day-to-day feel overwhelming.
Our VAWG Grassroots Fund, funded by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), is a richly diverse cohort of 41 women-led organisations who work tirelessly to support these women and girls. Their services particularly support women facing multiple disadvantage where mainstream, generic provision is not always appropriate.
As the fund passes its halfway point, we asked the incredible organisations involved to report on the number of women and girls being supported, and how they are getting on with their recovery.
We are delighted to report that 100% of these organisations shared that their beneficiaries are better able to cope with everyday life because of the support and interventions they have provided. Join us in celebrating this milestone achievement by reading our latest blog.

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:
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.
