My Affiliations with Local Groups & Organisations

.

I am involved with many local groups and am always interested in finding out what is happening in Lewisham Deptford.  There are many local people doing sterling work to support the more vulnerable members of society, as well as those who run cultural and social events. 

These are some of the groups and organisations I am particularly involved with at the moment:


Deptford First

I chair Deptford First, a local charity which aims to promote Deptford’s culture and history (registered charity number: 288169).  We award small grants to local voluntary organisations to help with start-up and running costs.  If you think your organisation may qualify, please write to me at: 
Joan Ruddock MP, House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA.
