Thank you for your kind reply.

Dear Sonia

On behalf of Rotherhithe Community Safety Forum (RCSF), I thank you for your introduction email below of today and warmly welcome your request to use our photos on the website of The Association of Charitable Foundations.  

RCSF is a truly multi-agency partnership that was set up on 5 June 2003 to help fight crime and the fear of crime in the Rotherhithe Community Council Area, covering both Rotherhithe Ward and Surrey Docks Ward.  Our collective goodwill and energy that have initially more channelled towards “Crisis Management” have gradually shifted towards “Community-Building” over the years as we built success on success in our continual efforts to help build a safer, more caring and more giving Rotherhithe Community where people will want to live, visit and work.  Everything RCSF has achieved to date was done by “volunteers” that involved individual and group members from different walks of life, including Valerie Shawcross AM (London Assembly’s Member for Lambeth & Southwark and Chair of Transport Committee), Cllr. Jenny Jones AM (London Assembly’s Green Party Member), Safer Neighbourhood Police Teams, Southwark Council Councillors & Officers, Council Tenants, Private Residents, Local Businesses, Local Churches, Local Schools and other Community Groups.  RCSF actively seeks to use our membership base, other network connections and communication channels to provides non-financial support for other community-building efforts in Rotherhithe or otherwise if and when it is deemed possible and desirable like our strong public support for "Save London Bubble Theatre Campaign" (Web Link for information :  http://www.flickr.com/photos/16999050@N00/2233794024/).    

Please feel free to use any item in our two photo collection sets which can be accessed via the two web links below, at no financial costs or other obligations whatsoever, as you see fit:

RCSF Community Photo Collection :  http://www.flickr.com/photos/16999050@N00/sets/72057594078772057/

 These two websites allow free viewing and downloading of individual photos by clicking each photo in turn.  Further information may be accessed under each photo.  There is also the facility to view each photo collection as a slideshow by clicking the "Slideshow" button at the top right of the screen.   

 Please click the 'ALL  SIZES' button just above the page to enlarge the photo for easy viewing and / or downloading as required. 

We would be most grateful if you will give credit to the photographer(s) and RCSF but this is by no means to be a condition for your use of our photos.  If you choose to give credit to the photographer(s), please look at the description directly below the photo(s).  If you cannot see any mention of photographer below a photo, it is a photo taken by me.  Steve Cornish (Chair of Downtown Defence Campaign and Chair of The Friends of Russia Dock Woodland) is a key contributor to our photo collection and has a fast-growing reputation, both as a “Photographer” as well as a seasoned "Community-Builder” like his famous “Downtown Kingfisher Photos” that have recently been published in the Evening Standard and other local newspapers.  RCSF  has chosen to give our strongest possible support to help promote “Environment, Ecology & Conservation (EEC)”.  This included our long-term support for Stave Hill Ecology Park (SHEP) and in its latest fund raising efforts to build the first-ever “London Wildlife Centre” and its competition for the prestigious “Green Pennant Award”.  Top politicians like Valerie Shawcross AM and Cllr. Jenny Jones AM have already lent their strong public support to SHEP, a local charity that has achieved a great deal for many with very little funding.  We would be most grateful if you will choose at least one photo of SHEP for public display on your website to add to the fast-growing support and public recognition of its success.  

Many thanks again for making contact and kind request to use our photos.

All best wishes

Dear Kam 

My name is Sonia Sinanan and I work for the Association of Charitable Foundations, the membership organisation for trusts and foundations in the UK.

I am currently responsible for the development of the ACF website and in looking for suitable photographs for the site I came across your photos for the Rotherhithe Community Safety Forum on Flickr. They are beautiful and cover many of the aspects of the work of our members that we are trying to portray.

It has been really difficult for us to find images that are suited to our work and of a suitable quality to put up on the site without using images that are from photostocks that look a little sterile.

I wondered if you would consider allowing us to use some of your photos on the site – we would be very happy to credit you and the forum. Unfortunately we don’t have any funds to pay for pictures.  

Let me know what you think – I won’t be offended if you think it’s not a good idea – it was just a thought as the pictures are so good.

Kind regards 

Sonia
