Meet Layla!

Local artist Layla worked with residents to co-create a beautiful piece celebrating Alum Rock and the voices of the community, now proudly displayed in our community room.

Thank you, Layla, for bringing the community's vision to life.

While out on Havelock Road, our Street Watch team met a resident whose wisdom left a lasting impression.

A simple message: reconnect with one another, be patient, build trust and take time to talk.

Have a listen and reach out to someone today. 💙

When communities come together, voices create change.

Our strategy is to connect communities and empower Street Champions to build networks, take ownership of their streets and support those around them. We remain committed to this approach and will continue our work. #CommunityRespect #StrongerTogether #StreetChampions

Many of you have reached out with concerns regarding a flyer that has recently been distributed. We would like to clarify that this flyer was produced by a separate organisation we have no affiliation with, using a replicated “Street Champion” model.

[CMI @CMI2023]

The Street Champion model has been recognised as effective and while we welcome its wider use, it is important to emphasise that we not only endorse the model, but also the ethos behind it, respect, collaboration and community empowerment.

[CMI @CMI2023]

Our community partners highlight the power of working together; key to building safer, greener communities where young people feel valued and take pride in their surroundings.

Thank you to #BYSA for joining us and championing #ItStartsWithYou with your youth and community.

Incredible day celebrating Alum Rock!

From planting to creativity, learning & connection, this showed the true power of community.

This is more than an event, it’s a movement and just the beginning.
