Why not host a ‘Play Street’ for World Car-Free Day?

Residents, schools and community groups are being encouraged to host a ‘play street’ to mark World Car-Free Day next month.

Play Streets involve residents closing off their road for a few hours on a chosen day, so that children can play freely without the fear of traffic.

To mark World Car-Free Day, H&F Council will be hosting a ‘Car-Free Festival’ with events taking place on Friday 21 September and Saturday 22 September.

Remembrance Day Silhouette Installation Grants

Grants for Remembrance Day Installations

Applications are now open for micro-grants of up to £500 for installations to support their Remembrance Day activities for the centenary of the First World War.

This programme will allow communities to remember and commemorate by accessing our silhouettes for benches and chairs free of charge thanks to the support of the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.

These silhouettes can be placed within community halls, places of worship and places of education, bringing to mind those who went to war and did not return. You can apply for an award to purchase up to 10 silhouettes.

As part of the award, your organisation will need to hold a self-funded event to bring your local community together.

Applications are open until the 1st October 2018.

Who can apply for an award?

Your organisation cannot be a for profit/commercial organisation, but aside from that, pretty much anyone can apply, including:

  • A charity
  • A Community Interest Company (CIC)
  • A school
  • A place of worship
  • An Armed Forces base
  • A community organisation with a constitution and a community space (Including councils)

Interested?

You can find out more information and apply here.

Please also see our website gallery for if you would like to see more images.

Freston Road Hub’s Formal Launch – A Hubbub at The Hub!

We formally launched the Freston Road Hub on Friday 17th August, with tea and cake on the terrace and a buzz of friendly visitors throughout the afternoon.  Guests met our current licensees and spent a relaxed few hours networking and chatting with likeminded people from a range of different organisations and backgrounds.

The hubs already attract an eclectic range of businesses including youth organisations, interior designers, IT companies, a hat designer, health care trainers, NHS partners and accountants.   IT consultant Derek White, of Banana IT Solutions, which has space at the Freston Road Hub said: “As a local resident and formerly a member of a local residents’ association, I’ve been involved in the development of this space for the last four years. It’s fantastic to finally see it open and to now be involved as a small business, making use of this amazing facility. I love that I can come and go as I please, and have space to hold meetings, deliver training and grow my business.”

ECHO – Amplifying Voices of London Charities

Dear Sobus Community,

My name is Zoltan, I’m a Social Entrepreneur and the Founder at ECHO an innovative online movement, and I am here to shake things up in the non-profit sector.
I’m currently mapping out charities in London, and I am looking for potential partners to collaborate with.

The main reason for that because we sadly realised there is an injustice in the UK charity sector where the largest 1.2% of charities in the UK receive 70% of the donations. Medium and small-sized charities have no chance to keep up with the marketing battle for publicity.

Have you ever experienced that too? I bet you have.

Our aim is not only to help you raising money but to reach out for the wider public by introducing them your goals, achievements, dedication and passion.

Did you know, that
– by 2019, global consumer Internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic?
– YouTube reports mobile video consumption rises 100% every year.
Incredible numbers, aren’t they?

Also, current donation systems are outdated, and they don’t allow the engagement, the transparent communication and the satisfaction people expect from non-profits.
That is why we are launching a whole new cycle of crowd-accelerated innovation, called ECHO.
We believe the word needs to be spread through cinematic short stories where donors can interact with you in person and share your story with the rest of the world to invite them on an educative journey and mobilise them to become actively involved.
These viral videos would provide you and the cause you fight for a well-deserved visibility in a way that all the participants could greatly benefit.

Oh, and it wouldn’t cost you a penny as ECHO is established to support small and medium-sized charities like yours.

It is pretty much a no-brainer, isn’t it?

If you’d like to come on board, please send us a message on
zoltan@echofriends.org.uk,
visit our website, www.echofriends.org.uk,
or follow us on social media, Twitter and Facebook.

Join us, and together we will truly be able to “Spread the World”!
