The SE5 Forum for Camberwell is a grassroots, non-political, umbrella organisation that exists to promote improvements in Camberwell that benefit all members of our diverse community. The Forum was set up to be the eyes, ears and voice of the community, to see and understand what is happening within the area, to listen to concerns and to raise these with the relevant organisations that can bring about positive change.
