We are coordinating dates for vaccination drop ins March and April today so I will let people know this week.

At the request of some community buildings managers Camden Council is inviting people who are purchasing services to meet together for a Procurement Exchange. If there is sufficient interest we will be hosting an lunchtime meeting Wed 30th March 12:30-13:30 on Zoom.

This is a participatory meeting to enable anyone responsible for building management (such as Facilities Managers, Centre Managers, Super Caretakers etc) to meet up and discuss costs associated with running a community building.

In the first instance we will be asking you about your costs of statutory compliance otherwise known as health and safety checks – what should you pay for a fire safety report, who does yours, is what should you expect from a legionella contractor, who is Pat Testing??? etc.

For any other questions or queries please do get in touch with me. Please complete the survey with your details to get the Zoom link. Please can you complete the survey by Monday 28th March
