31% of households are living in social rented housing.

36% (almost 600) of households in Littlemoor are in receipt of income related benefits.

Who are we?

What we are aiming for

“to enhance the sense of belonging, democratic influence, neighbourliness and involvement in their area”

“a more positive attitudes towards public agencies where representatives of those agencies are engaging online”

To provide a platform for people to express how they feel about their area.

What I have learnt

“I run Littlemoors community

nur”

What I have learnt

More involvement from local agencies would have been helpful.

It's not easy to attempt this on your own!

People need coaxing to contribute themselves, rather than asking me to.

Extra time is needed at the start.
