Brixton

Just last week BBC Radio 4 completed its 3 part series 'The Charity Business', which examines how charities work, asks what they're for and how accountability can be improved to assist an better cost/benefit equation (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09w87yd). 

This six-week course offers an overview of basic Buddhist concepts and principles and an exploration of two core meditation practices that bring about self-awareness, change and spiritual insight.

Each week we will examine the core principles of Buddhism and meditation and explore why these ancient practices are relevant to our lives today, helping us lead a fuller, richer, happier life. These topics will be explored through meditation, discussion and reflection with short exercises to do between sessions.

South London grassroots campaign group ‘Mums for Lungs’ is urging parents concerned by dangerous levels of air pollution in London to respond to a critical consultation being run by Transport for London. Air pollution causes an estimated 9000 deaths in the capital every year, and has been linked to cases of asthma in children and babies.

'Living with Trauma' is a solo show by artist Michelle Baharier, founder of Cool Tan Arts (an innovative South London disability and mental health arts charity) and someone who has always fought for social inclusion of those stymied by mental health and disability stigma, despite suffering her own disability issues. It has been showing since August 29th and held its Private View last night.
