SW!TCH on the Hill

Creating long-term change in Harold Hill, Havering

We're working with local people to bring long-term change to Harold Hill.

We know there are concerns about community safety, rising poverty, the environment, and limited opportunities for young people.

But, by supporting residents to lead on new community initiatives, we can build a Harold Hill we all love.

We’ve been working with the residents of Harold Hill since 2001, building strong relationships with local people and groups committed to improving the area and creating better opportunities for the community.

Now, thanks to Reaching Communities funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, this work can continue for a further three years.
