Engagement in the Heston In The Loop Programme

3/10/2023

0 Comments

 
Experience the highlights from the Heston In The Loop Community Engagement Event, which took place on September 16th 2023, at the Heston Community Centre. This exciting event was made possible through a wonderful partnership with the London Borough of Hounslow, ReLondon, C-Change West London and Let's Go Outside and Learn.
​
We were also supported by a few incredible organisations such as the Heston Action Group, Creative Spaces London, London Bike Hub, Crane Valley Partnership, and Kitche, among others. Our day was filled with a plenty of engaging activities that brought the community together in unforgettable ways. Participants had the chance to unleash their creativity by designing unique tote bags, explore the art of flower arranging, and even whip up delicious smoothies using pedal power! But it wasn't all just fun and games.

Together with the local residents, we embarked on a journey to create a circular economy vision board. This collaborative effort allowed us to envision a brighter future for our community, one where sharing, reusing, recycling, and reducing waste are at the forefront of our mission. We are not only enhancing our environment but also boosting our overall wellbeing. In collaboration with Let's Go Outside and Learn and the Crane Valley Partnership, we also embarked on a community consultation focused on the River Crane.

Our primary aim was to gain invaluable insights into the ways our community interacts with this natural resource, identify the obstacles and challenges hindering engagement, and gauge the sentiments of our residents toward their local surroundings.

Cleaning up Church Lane - plenty of work to do to deter the fly-tippers!

22/5/2023

0 Comments

 
On Sunday 16th April 2023, our dedicated members and volunteers from the Big Local Youth Film Club took on the challenging task of addressing the appalling fly-tipping zone on Church Lane in Cranford, Hounslow. Together, we made an effort to improve the area, but there is still much work to be done to prevent further damage caused by fly-tippers. We remain committed to preserving the well-being of our community and will continue our efforts to clean up and deter such irresponsible actions.

Big thanks to Hounslow Highways for their support.

Our Big Local Youth Film Club is a community filmmaking project designed for young people living and studying in and around our Big Local area. The project is in collaboration with filmmakers Arfhan Razak and Kulbir Maras and supported by C-Change West London.

During the sessions young people learn the art of filmmaking and community work. In the last 7 years our young people have been involved with making documentaries, short films, music videos and community related content. The sessions are an opportunity for young people to learn leadership, communication and creative skills in a safe, friendly and fun environment.

The youth film club is often the first step for our young people to get involved with our community volunteering programme.

Sessions are FREE and run weekly every Sunday at Cranford Community College from 11 to 3pm. To sign up please click here.
