Jesmond Community Forum was established in 2004 to celebrate, promote and support the work of community, residents’ and voluntary groups in Jesmond.
The forum provides an opportunity for groups to work together, offer mutual support, swap information, and monitor progress on issues of common interest. Issues discussed at bi-monthly open meetings have included
· Obtaining publicity for events and activities;
· Community Notice Boards;
· Funding;
· Meeting Rooms;
· Organising meetings and events;
· Liaison with the Council.
Since 2005 the forum has coordinated annual Jesmond Community Festivals, drawing together a huge variety of events organised by member organisations into a single festival programme. Up to and including 2012, each festival has been more successful than its predecessor.
Member organisations include most of the schools and churches in Jesmond, residents’ associations, choirs and music groups, sports organisations, and groups promoting the interests of young people and the elderly.
We would welcome
further member organisations. For more information email forum@jesmond.uk.net
