Spotlighting Healthy Food: Community Food championship program

Proudtobeme support and mentors young people planning to make a change in Community food habits and advertisement. In conjunction with UK youth and Biteback, we are helping young people create an awareness campaign that targets junk food advertising in Southwark council.

Proudtobeme and UK Youth are collaborating to empower young people aged 11-25 to make positive community change through Inspire 2022-23. This flexible program of youth-led social action and community events across the UK will put young people in the driving seat, with a laser-sharp focus on the needs of the whole community.

Hourglass is the only UK-wide charity dedicated to calling time on the harm, abuse and neglect of older people.

The Empowering Communities Development Officer works with the local councillors and community to organise ward meetings. They also organise the multi-ward forum meetings for their area.

In each multi-ward forum, a Councillor will be a community champion and will chair these meetings, ensuring they operate effectively.

Twice a year, the council hosts a multi-ward meeting for residents across several wards. These meetings are mainly for funding programmes information, process, and announcement of decisions.

Each ward meets with their councillors a few times per year to talk about issues affecting their neighbourhood
