About the Project Creator
AN AMPLIFIED VOICE FOR RESIDENTS' CONCERNS, UNITED WEMAKE A DIFFERENCE!
“Established in June 2016, the CCRA have had a positive impact on the community in tackling ongoing issues, encouraging community cohesion initiatives to strengthen the Hounslow based multi cultural community.”
The Concorde close Residents Association (CCRA) was formed in June 2016 with the sole purpose of improving the living environment of residents who live in Concorde Close Hounslow. Concorde Close is a small residential close situated in West London, housing up to 43 social households with a mixed cultural demographic of elderly & young families. The properties were built in the 1970's and over the years the external areas have deteriorated drastically. The area has been infiltrated by drug users/dealers who contribute to the escalating ASB crime in the area; such as using discreet communal weak spots to use drugs & leave their drug paraphernalia that unfortunately young children stumble upon frequently. With recent stabbings and threats to resident’s safety, a small collective of residents decided to come together to form the first voluntary Concorde Close Residents Association in June 2016, to help challenge & tackle ongoing issues. By encouraging proactive community cohesion, the CCRA are formulating community projects focused on building positive and strong relationships within the small community of residents, by improving the wellbeing & safety of residents - which is at the heart of the CCRA's ethos. The small estate is managed by HOME GROUP, Housing association who the CCRA are now working with to make a change to improve the living environment that has been neglected for years to create a more safe, pleasant place for residents to live.
COMMUNITY COHESION SMALL ACTIONS BIG DIFFERENCE.
“We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbours. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously.”
— Grace Lee Boggs
