Our next CALMS course will commence on the 20th April from The Hanworth Centre and our full TurnOver course will start up on the 19th April from Staines Rugby Club on Snakey Lane.

COVID and beyond: achieving equality your reflections and ideas for next steps.
- The meeting will focus on jointly reflecting on community insights provided thus far on COVID and equality, to understand how they resonate with members of the Acton/Southall/Northolt/Perivale & Greenford communities and hear ideas for shared action to tackle these issues.
- Members of the group will be invited to share concerns of inequality, and ideas for how to collectively tackle these, during the pandemic and beyond.
- We have a guest independent facilitator, Samira Ben Omar, who will be available to introduce, set the tone and lead the discussion. We will also be joined by anthropologists from London School of Economics who are supporting us to reflect on the views heard and translate into further action for the council.

The Localism Act – how can it be used effectively to support housing needs?
Date: 26th March
Time: 10:00am-11:30am
The Localism Act 2011 was instrumental in empowering Councils to influence how social housing is offered and managed in their local area. The Act placed a duty on local housing authorities to produce a tenancy strategy. The purpose of the strategy is to communicate local housing need and, how the offer of social housing should support the Councils overall vision to meet housing need.
