Norwood Forum is a community-based organisation run by local volunteers elected by the community. It is dedicated to fostering a sustainable, diverse, vibrant, and healthy community by making a positive difference to the quality of life for the people who live, study, and work across the
Norwood area.
We are a campaigning, independent, non-political organisation. Our fundamental purpose is to build community - enabling people in our locality to feel more connected to place, with more understanding of one another, feel able to be more involved in community activities and have a greater sense of agency. We consult with, represent, inform and enable our community to help shape local policy and service provision.
Our areas of interest are wide ranging, with our core work being on sharing accurate information - and this will be our new administrators main role, but we also run a series of projects which currently include: sustainability and the environment, local transport, planning and development, and health and wellbeing. We also run our own events as well as support those run by others. Norwood Forum operates a website and several social media platforms and sends out a monthly newsletter to a large readership. We support community campaigns and keep ourselves well informed about what's happening in (and to) our neighbourhood.
