Our new campaign 'Together we are Waltham Forest' launches
Together, we’re creating opportunities for people to live the life they choose and shaping places they are proud to call home. We’re taking action to protect the environment and help nature thrive, create safer streets, support healthy and happy lives, and celebrate culture as a powerful force for connection, wellbeing, and local prosperity - all while caring for one another in our wonderfully diverse and united community.
The strength of Waltham Forest lies in the collective energy and dedication of its people. Through Together We Are Waltham Forest, you can hear stories of progress and find out how to be part of the next chapter.
London Borough of Waltham Forest Leader Cllr Grace Williams says:
There are so many remarkable people driving real change in Waltham Forest. Their stories deserve to be heard and their contributions celebrated. You can read about some of these incredible people on the Together web pages, including Olivia who organises a family walking group in Chingford, Marc who works with his neighbours to make their Leytonstone street more environmentally friendly, and Gina who runs her Hanoi Cà Phê stall from a new street food market in Leyton.
By working collaboratively with individuals and groups, we can realise our ambition of making Waltham Forest a fairer, more equal borough by 2030. Stand with us and sign our petition for a fairer future for Waltham Forest so we can deliver services that meet the needs of our community over the coming years.
This is a borough full of pride and ambition, where diversity and unity are our greatest strengths. But we are facing big challenges, including rising costs, increasing demand for our services, and growing inequality. We can’t tackle these issues alone - but working together we have a much better chance.”
There are so many other opportunities to get involved, whether you want to join a project or initiative, discover more about what is going on locally, or share a story about someone you know who is doing amazing work in the community.
Together, we are Waltham Forest.
