Community Development

Encouraging sustainable communities

The frameworks and implementation team, through section 106, has developed with partners a number of socio economic projects in the north of Southwark.

Section 106 monies, particularly from the Bankside Mix development, have been used to make provision for a variety of community facilities, employment and education programmes to empower and encourage active communities.

Projects we have supported include  

• The provision of new community facilities for local residents, community organisations and local businesses
• Supporting community organisations to deliver services for local residents
• Providing capital funding for major redevelopment of Blackfriars Settlements community and training centre
• Working with local schools to develop training courses and education workshops to encourage the community to gain new skills and promote life long learning
• Work experience programmes for local youths, where local youths can gain career related skills, networking opportunities and mentorin
