London South West Message from the Chair I hope you’re all looking forward to the summer! We’ve had a really successful year. We’ve achieved all our Area Plan and performance targets. Now the next stage of our journey is to become digitally included. As a Panel of resident volunteers and a resident of North Lambeth I’m aware of the challenges some of you will be facing.

The event also offered them the chance to get to know their neighbours better and build a stronger community. “A big thank you to AmicusHorizon from the Thurlow Hill Residents’ Association for supporting us and helping us to achieve our goal.” Delighted resident, Jackie Bird. 10 Many residents came out to participate throughout the day, painting front walls, getting rid of rubbish, installing plants into tree pits and building new wooden planters. The event, run as part of Lambeth Council’s Fresh View scheme, received grant support from us. News&Views | www.amicushorizon.org.uk
