Network Arts is an arts-based project for people with mental health support needs.  It’s based in the Lee Centre, on Aislibie Road, just off Lee High Road.

Unfortunately, due to a review of South London and Maudsley NHS Trust’s Community Opportunities Service, the project is threatened with closure.

However, the centre’s users aren’t taking this proposal lying down, and have enlisted the support of local people and politicians in their campaign to save the project.  Back in May, my colleague Cllr Dave Edgerton proposed a motion at full council, supporting the project.  Colleagues on the Healthier Communities Select Committee have also expressed their support for the project.

Now Network Arts are raising their profile with an excellent new website.   I particularly recommend the gallery of members’ work.
