Dear all,

I am writing to let you know the news that the Lambeth Women's Project
will close on the 30 November 2012. I'd like to take the opportunity to
thank everybody for their support and I know that relationships that have
been developed amongst women of different backgrounds, and ages through
crossing paths with each other at the project will continue, and cannot be
taken away as easily.

After the eviction letter in June Stockwell Primary School continued to
make it clear that there would be no future for our organisation or the
potential of partnership working at 166a Stockwell Road. Though the
decision has been extremely hard we were left with no choice but to come
to the conclusion to allow the sun to set on over 30 years of a strong
presence within the Lambeth community and beyond.

We would particularly like to thank everyone for the amazing support
during June and the following months. This has meant that we have been
able to get our accounts finalised with the accountant, continue to have
internet and a phone line, and remove our belongings without fear of
imminent eviction. As we have had a long history of individuals and
community groups supporting us through donations, we have distributed our
belongings amongst local community organisations and individuals that will
continue to do the work in different shapes and forms. We have also
deposited our records with Lambeth Archives, to be accessioned and
catalogued for permanent preservation and the blog is also archived with
the British Library Web Archive project.

The last meeting taking place at LWP is the monthly meeting of the Brixton
Women's Institute on 29th November 2012.  After this the keys will be
handed back to our solicitor.


Please forward this to anyone that you think would want to be informed.


Warmest Regards
