The Livesey Museum for Children has been run successfully for 34 years by Southwark Council. It catered for 18,000 visitors a year in a deprived area. It was much loved and ran on a shoestring, but the Council closed it down with very little notice on 29 Feb 2008. The Friends is a newly constituted group, set up to challenge the Council's decision and to propose to take on the trust to run the Museum for the community. More information on http://liveseyfriends.wordpress.com/

London, our home, is the global hub of the arms trade and London CAAT was established in late 2006 to peacefully protest against the local elements of this trade in death.

The members agreed that it was important to raise the awareness of Londoners that the arms trade is widespread throughout our city. London CAAT is an active group and we carry out many actions in the city, for example walking tours of the arms companies situated in London and protests outside events related to the arms trade.

We are a friendly group of determined people, some getting involved for the first time, who are committed to making a difference in our hometown. We meet on the third Tuesday of each month in a central London location and we welcome any new members.

To receive updates on our activities and contribute to discussions, please join our Yahoo! Group (http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/londoncaat/).
