Awards for inspirational Southwark community groups

Last month saw the brilliant London Dangoor Awards 2024, hosted by the The Faith and Belief Forum.

We saw four winners from Southwark, including Salmon Youth Centre and Faiths Women Community UK and we couldn’t be prouder. We also had five recognised projects too including Community Garden, Love North Southwark.

Cllr Stephanie Cryan, Cabinet Member for Equalities, Democracy and Finance, said: "Well done to all of our brilliant community groups –the work you do for residents is truly outstanding. I am so proud that so many of our voluntary, community sector and faith groups were awarded and recognised at The London Dangoor Awards, you all so deserve it.

"As we move into the challenging winter ahead, we know how vital groups across Southwark will be at supporting our residents and making sure they can access the support they need. Once again, I’d like to thank every single group that goes above and beyond for our residents, working together to create a more inclusive Southwark. And thanks to The Faith and Belief Forum for shining a light on the inspirational work happening in our borough."
