It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

    2014 EUROPEAN London PRO BONO The Mermaid 5-7 November FORUM ProgramB1_170x255mm_LONDON.indd 1 04/08/14 14:40 2014 European Pro Bono Forum 5–7 November The Mermaid London PILnet Sustaining Partners 2 l 2014 European Pro Bono Forum, London Photo l Nick Kenrick Welcome from PILnet As the European pro bono movement takes root around the world, PILnet brings its 2014 European Pro Bono Forum to London, a global legal capital about to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. The London legal community has been a leader in the development of pro bono practice, and London is fertile ground for developing new approaches to strengthening the rule of law. But any conversation about pro bono in the U.K. must acknowledge recent cuts to legal aid that have left people across the country unable President to access the legal advice they need in order to secure justice. Many look to pro bono to fill the gap. But can it? Should it? A debate about these questions will kick off this year’s workshops. The Forum is our opportunity to re-think pro bono’s place within the panoply of legal solutions to our most pressing societal challenges. These challenges are not limited to the U.K., nor are they limited to problems of access to basic legal advice. Across Europe and beyond, we are experiencing new threats to privacy, freedom of association and the rights of LGBTI people. Climate change, immigration and global PILnet’s health issues also concern us all. We have endeavored to put together a rich program featuring front-line practitioners that will inspire us to engage on these issues and many others.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

  • London Borough of Lambeth
    LONDON BOROUGH OF LAMBETH LAMBETH ARCHIVES DEPARTMENT Reference number IV/224 Title Morley College Covering dates 1888-2013 Physical extent 29 boxes & 2 volumes Creator Morley College Administrative history Morley College originated in the work of the Coffee Music Halls Company Ltd. who promoted temperance and the arts in London. The college was established by Emma Cons, a visionary and social reformer who fought to improve standards of London’s Waterloo district. In 1880, Cons, with the support of the Coffee Music Halls Company Ltd. leased what is now known as the ‘Old Vic’ theatre and created the Royal Victoria Coffee and Music Hall. In 1882 the hall began to host weekly lectures in which eminent scientists would address the public on a wide range of topics. The success of these lectures led to the establishment of Morley Memorial College for working men and women, named after Samuel Morley, a textile manufacturer, MP and philanthropist who contributed to Morley College. In the 1920s the college moved to Westminster Bridge Road where it remains today although it has since expanded and now includes Morley Gallery and Arts Studio and the Nancy Seear Building. The college has attracted eminent staff including composer Gustav Holst, Director of Music 1907- 1924, a post later filled by Sir Michael Kemp Tippet, 1940-1951. Other high profile personalities associated with the college include composer Ralph Vaughn Williams, writer Virginia Woolf and artist David Hockney.
