November update
Thanks to all who attended our October meeting on the 25th. The draft minutes are available to access on our website here.
In summary:
- Becoming a charity: we had a presentation on our soon-to-be revised constitution to help us prepare for registering as a charity. This move is huge for us, and Harlesden, as it means we'll have more doors open to us in terms of funding and influencing. We need at least 15 people at the next meeting to vote on the new document - essentially whether you think it represents how we should run as an organisation in our community. The draft document will be circulated in our next email.
- Quarterly Forum update: our new quarterly one-page update which shows where we are with our various work streams and how they align with our strategy as an organisation. If you're interested in helping us take any of our activities further, we do welcome your time. See the update on our website here.
- We are always looking at ways to improve our communications within our capacity. Over the next couple of months, we'll be taking ideas, photos and messages from our members and supporters.
- Thanks to Dulce who told the Forum about the GLA's Plant a tree scheme - sign up for free trees! We're also working closely with our contact at Brent to advise on where Harlesden residents would like to see new trees planted. Get in touch for more info.
