We are

delighted to announce that Rt Hon Sir Norman Lamb has agreed to visit Bromley

Lib Dems to give us a talk about his political career & his involvement in

the health sector particularly with regards to his campaigning on mental health

issues.

He was

the Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk from 2001 to 2019 and he was Chair of

the Science and Technology Select Committee from 2017 to 2019, elected by all

MPs.

He has

served as Minister of State for Care and Support in the Department of Health

from 2012 to 2015 and was Parliamentary Private Secretary to. Nick Clegg in the

Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Government.

As

Health Minister Norman worked to reform the care system and led the drive to

integrate health social care with a greater focus on preventing ill health. He

also challenged the NHS to ensure that mental health was treated with the same

priority as physical health including the introduction of access and waiting

standards in mental health for the first time

He was

knighted in the 2019 Birthday Honours list and appointed chair of South London

and Maudsley NHS foundation Trust in December 2019.

An evening of progressive politics with Dr Al Pinkerton, the Liberal Democrat MP who won the Surrey Heath constituency for the Liberal Democrats in July 2024.

Are you passionate about making Haringey a better place to live? Do you care deeply about your community and want to make a real impact on people’s lives? Do you believe Haringey deserves a Liberal Democrat-run council, instead of Labour? If so, we want YOU to consider becoming a Haringey Councillor in 2026!

At this inspiring event, you’ll hear from current councillors, local activists, and local party leaders about the rewarding and impactful role of being a Liberal Democrat councillor in Haringey, and what you need to do get elected in May 2026.

Whether you’re curious about what the job involves, or you’re seriously considering standing for election in 2026, this is your chance to ask questions, learn from others, and get motivated to make a real difference.

Why should you attend?

• Learn how becoming a Haringey Councillor can help you shape what happens in your area and improve local lives
• Hear firsthand from current Lib Dem councillors about what the role involves, balancing commitments, and who the role might suit
• Understand the process in becoming a candidate, campaigning and getting elected
• Meet like-minded people who share your vision for a fairer, better Haringey

This event is for everyone—whether you’re a long-time activist or new to politics. We’re here to answer your questions and provide guidance on how you can play a key role in our borough’s future.

The event is also a great opportunity for those who may just wish to support others in getting elected to find out how they can offer their support.

The event will also include wine, soft drinks, and nibbles, so please don’t hesitate to sign up!

The theme this year is "SO WHAT NEXT?" and our keynote speaker will be Gareth Roberts one of our Liberal Democrat Members of the London Assembly.

There will also be workshops ..leaders of some of these include Gareth's colleague on the Assembly Hina Bokhari; our MP for Sutton and Cheam, Luke Taylor; Sutton Councillor Sam Martin and a Local Member Peter Honour..amongst others! There will also be some surprise elements...

There will be plenty of opportunity to mingle and meet friends old and new.

The cost is as it has been for the last few years: £30 per person. 

The day will begin at 10am and go through until about 4pm. Lunch and refreshments are all provided in the cost.

I really hope that you will be able to make it. Previous conferences have been very successful and one delegate said " The day was really great fun with plenty of time to think and debate as well as enjoy being with friends and colleagues."
