Sydenham Neighbourhood Initiatives
Thanks to funding received from the Local Area Committee, WCC Community Development Fund and WCC Members Fund we have been able to run a community leadership programme for local residents. The community leadership programme taught community development skills.
The programme ran for 26 weeks and SYDNI now has a core group of volunteers who have given themselves the name A.C.T. (Action in the Community Together). The leadership course culminated in a community consultation held at The SYDNI Centre. The group approached the task in a fun way spending several weeks planning the consultation event in order to engage as many of our local residents as possible. The event was well attended and having analysed the results the group have embarked on many projects including working with local councillors to get new bins installed, fixing childrens play areas, creating a gardening group to work and design the SYDNI Community Garden and are currently working with local police and schools on a BMX Track Consultation to enable local young people to practise their cycle skills.
