Norwood Forum brings together residents, businesses and local organisations – from residents’ associations, tenants, schools and neighbourhood watches to Friends’ groups for parks and libraries – to discuss issues that affect them in our local community. We work together to ensure that our service providers know what Norwood needs and wants. We have high aspirations to help improve the social, economic and environmental provision for everyone who lives and works in Norwood.
Here are just some of the issues we are working on with the Council, Police and NHS:
• Regeneration of Norwood town centre
• Education and youth services
• Community buildings
• Voluntary community groups
• Parks and green spaces
• Health services
Get involved
We need your help to make sure that the needs and wants of people in Norwood are taken on board. The only way that we can effectively speak out as the Voice for Norwood is if we talk to each other, try to think of new ideas and ways of working together, and make sure that the right people know how important Norwood is.
