Community Clean Up Leader - Acton

Ealing and Hounslow Community and Voluntary Service (EHCVS) is a registered local charity supporting voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups in Ealing and Hounslow for over 40 years. We offer a wide range of practical support services to VCS groups, both large and small.

Project title:  Acton Community Connect

Acton Community Connect is an initiative by EHCVS that aims to contribute to the diverse Acton community. Through our research and connections with the Acton community we have identified three needs that the Acton Community Connect initiative will address:

• Reduce social isolation
• Improve health and wellbeing
• Strengthen the community

Through our existing relationships with groups and residents in Acton, we will utilize community assets (churches, libraries, parks etc.) to create spaces that facilitate the needs of the community as stated above.
