Voluntary Action Lewisham

Lewisham VCS Children and Young People's Forum is a network of over 500 voluntary and community organisations working with children and young people in Lewisham. Our Forum enables us to support and develop ourselves as a sector and forge strong partnerships with statutory agencies.

We have quarterly meetings, and organise additional support events and consultations. We elect VCS representatives to boards and working groups across Lewisham's Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership.

The Forum is led by an elected Steering Group of members. Here are details of our NEW Steering Group 2009-10:

• Muladi Badibengi, Lewisham Wrestling Club
• Christine Bainbridge, Ravensbourne Team of Churches
• Jane Hendrie, Lewisham Education Arts Network
