All bids have to be submitted tomorrow by 12 noon!

Please support our bid if you think we are doing the best for our community.

We'll make our bid public soon.

Super scared & super excited about this at the same time because I just can't stand back & let someone possibly reduce our library service.

We've done all we can & our bid is done now.

Please wish us luck.

Thanks so much

Fingers crossed.

Here goes for starters!

This partnership bid brings together V22's considerable experience of renovating, maintaining and transforming buildings, and operating them for arts and community benefit, with representatives from the Forest Hill Society, Forest Hill Traders’ Association, and experienced individuals. Together we bring considerable collective experience of building management, a deep‐seated local knowledge, a wealth of community contacts and goodwill, and experience of making civic improvements for the benefit of local residents. We believe this bid combines an exceptional team that will be well placed to provide library services; to find, motivate and manage the local volunteers so essential to running a community library; and to build upon the core services of a library to make it a true community space run for and by the community ‐ building upon the needs, interests and aspirations of the people of Forest Hill.

I'm not the best with IT but will get more up soon. Unless Michael beats me to it :-)
Our whole bid Michael? Wasn't able to load it!

Anotherjohn, sent it to you too. Are you able to get the full bid up Xxx

Our community partnership library bid has been shortlisted today!

YAY, we might have a chance to do this :-)


"The library does more than simply loan books. It underpins every community. It is not just a place for self‐ improvement, but the supplier of an infrastructure for life and learning, from babies to old age, offering support, help, education, and encouraging a love of reading"

Please get behind us on this.

Thanks

Pauline

I'm super excited & super scared about this but know we can do this for our community!

This is a massive take on for us but know we will do it.

During this process my stomach is in turmoil because I can't even think about anyone reducing our library service.

Very scared P!

We need to do this. YIKES!

I'm still scared!
