St Luke’s Centre was presented with the EC1 Team of the year award at the EC1 Pride in our people 2010 awards held on Wednesday 12th May.
These awards aim to reward people for their individual and collective efforts within our community. The event was hosted by Kate Silverton and winners were announced in seven different categories.
This was certainly an evening to enjoy with friends, family and colleagues and to receive some much deserved recognition for keeping the community spirit alive and well in EC1.
Well done to the St Luke’s team for the well deserved award!
As part of the volunteer’s week 2010, we will be organising an event to recognise and reward our volunteers on Friday 4th June from 4pm-7pm.
We will be also celebrating our anniversary after a fantastic 3 years of Time banking in the EC1 area. This will be a great opportunity for Time Bank participants, other organisations and projects to meet each other whilst getting to know more about the activities we are currently doing and have planned for the future.
Following the disappointing news that building works in King Square Gardens will prevent us from holding the EC1 Summer Festival, we are pleased to be partners with the Whitecross Street Party which is taking place on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th July. This spectacular weekend event will be jam packed with art exhibitions, street entertainers, rides and performances. Put the date in your diary, it’s an event not to be missed!
