Okay I’ve got the application forms to apply for Perry Vale ward assembly funding for this now!

We can apply for up to £2500 but we need to move quick as the deadline for applications is 19th August.

I’m sure we can easily make up the other £250 to go ahead with this if we are successful.

So @anon5422159 & @Michael as we need to get our skates on with this what do we put the organisation down as for this project?

SE23.Life or Forest Hill Society?

FHTA are already going for funding for the bicycle equipment for both platforms at FH Station so we can’t apply for it as FHTA. I don’t know if FH Soc is applying for anything this round.

@Lionel if we are successful can we put the start date as within 1 month of receiving the funding & we’ll need a couple of sentences for this question “Outline the key risks associated with the project and how you will minimise their impact”

I don’t mind filling in the forms, submitting them & being a contact if need be. Chris & Michael shall we pick this up in an email to discuss more?

@John_Paschoud FYI

Thanks @Pauline - I’ve created a new opt-in category to discuss this further. You should see this in your category list.

Would be nice to see this happen this summer, certainly great to see some of the work appearing.

Just curious if there has been any progress?

  • @Pauline contacted the artist of the Hither Green mural, @Lionel, and he has kindly given us a quote (although that was some time ago now)
  • Councillor @MajaHilton suggested planning permission wouldn’t be required from Lewisham Council
  • We have permission from Network Rail to paint either side under the railway bridge.

The next step is raising the funds.

I think @Pauline and @Michael probably both have their hands full with the library at the moment. With Pauline’s help, I did start looking into applying for funding from the council for the mural last year. However, in order to bid for this, we need a DBS-regulated non-profit organisation, and SE23.life is owned by my company, which is a regular for-profit company.

So there are a couple of options available:

  • we approach a local non-profit to apply for council funding (which would cover the majority of the cost)
  • we use a crowd funder to raise the money.

If you would like to help make this happen, or are interested in finding out more, please “like” this post and I’ll give you access to the private category we set up here on SE23.life to discuss the details.

Got some suggestions & will post in half hour, just got to pop out quickly to see a man about a dog :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Here’s a few suggestions for the non-profit group.

I’ve also found out groups can apply for more than one project through assembly funding, so won’t be an issue if any are applying for anything else :slight_smile:

FHTA - I can run this past the other 5 exec members but sure it won’t be a problem as we all support anything that improves the community.

FH Society - @Michael

SEE3 - I can contact the appropriate peeps.

Yes we are busy with the library, but I’m still up for working on this :slight_smile:

Sorry I didn’t suggest the library as a group for this, reasons being we are working on a lot at the moment. So all good :+1:

I think we would be more likely to get the funding from the Perry Vale Assembly rather than Forest Hill Assembly Ward, so would concentrate on that one - also happy to fill in the forms & get the dates for the next assembly funding meetings from @MayaOnyett & the team.

Also if we want to crowdfund to get this done sooner can I suggest using “Crowdfunder” as you still get the funds if you don’t reach your target - This is what we used for the Library Crowdfunder so that we didn’t lose any donations :+1:

Great stuff @Pauline - your local connections pay dividends for stuff like this. Cheers for keeping the momentum despite everything else you’re doing.

In my opinion this is the easiest and most cost effective way to improve the look of Forest Hill centre, excellent work @Pauline.

The street art looks fantastic in Honor Oak, Brockley and East Dulwich.

I am.competative when it comes to some things that are productive (oh and playing Monopoly) let’s get on with this :+1::+1::+1:

Is the aim to copy the design or come up with something different for forest hill?

#81

I think either or would work Stefan, but the quotes I got were based on this design x

#82

Ladywell agreed to fund a mural that is just metres outside the ward, so feel free to use the precedent at your Assembly. If it ever actually happens (not sure of processes/timeline, no co-ordinators’ meeting till next week) ours will be under the railway bridge in Elmira Street.

@valw53 - looks like Ladywell made it happen! Looks fantastic, in my opinion:

That Ladywell mural looks great.

Spotted this Catford-related Twitter thread the other day - Looks like they too are heading towards the Herne Hill / Hither Green station sign approach. I fear by the time we get round to a FH one, it will be a bit over-done…

Have to agree.
I did have an idea of a sponsored directional mural. Pointing to places of interest, but not sure anyone would care for that.
