BCAF

At Burngreave Community Action Forum, we think there's been enough talk about problems in the area and ‘consultations’ on decisions that have already been made. We all know the main issues. The question now is what we are going to do about it.

As we saw with the cuts to adult learning, it's clear we have to fight to keep funding in the area, and to get the extra resources we need.

We think the people of Burngreave are the best resource that Burngreave has. And we want to make sure people working on areas of particular concern are supported to come together and agree what needs to be done.

Here are some of the things we are doing:

• Setting up a health network for workers and residents to co-ordinate their activities and make everyone aware of what projects are available.

• Resurrecting the street champions scheme

• Creating e-mail lists to keep everyone updated (see below)

• Assisting with the campaign against cuts to adult learning

• Supporting the Abbeyfield Park and Fir Vale Festivals

• Working on plans to address gaps in provision of youth activities and adult learning

• Funding conversation clubs across the area, giving an opportunity to meet people and learn English for free.
