LVAC's Active Citizens Hub
Lambeth Voluntary Action Council's Active Citizens Hub (ACH) is a project funded by the Working Neighbourhood Fund, through Lambeth First. The aim of the Hub is to promote active citizenship throughout Lambeth and is a key central resource to provide support and empower individuals who would like to be more involved in Lambeth life.
LVAC's ACH have recently launched their free training programme for 2009-10, offering training sessions to help people develop skills in public speaking, good governance and on becoming community advocates. There will also be a set of introductory workshops on a range of Active Citizens roles such as becoming a School Governor or a Magistrate. For more information about becoming more active in Lambeth or to get a copy of the LVAC's ACH training brochure contact 020 7737 1419 (Ext 307) or email ctive.citizen@lambethvac.org.uk.
