Our recent highlights:

Since its founding in 2017 we have:

Won over £2m worth of improvements to TFL bus routes to and from local schools, to ensure young people can travel safer
Ensured Rose Lane, Marksgate was resurfaced for residents
Campaigned for youth and street safety
Fought for more jobs that pay a Real Living Wage across the borough

Our organisation co-chaired our recent Accountability Assembly in April and won commitments from East Area Superintendent Butterfield to work with us on tackling youth safety, an agreement to meet twice a year from the Council Leader and a commitment to support us in getting a Real Living Wage for Care Workers through their role in the new Integrated Care Systems.
