Our Work

Our first plan was created at the beginning of our resident partnership it describes how we got started and how we identified what our communty needs were. 

The diagram below is a visual interpretation of our core priorities in our first partnership plan

North Meets South is a partnership governed by residents, with activities organised by residents and for residents in Marks Gate and North Chadwell Heath. Our decision making has and will always come from the community first, while taking into consideration any research and professional consultations that we commission. 

Our current plan takes things further with findings based a commissioned research. By speaking to residents within our catchment area. Through a variety of consultations, surveys and feedback we created a new plan for the period 2021-2022.
