The 'My Street' programme is a community-led initiative that provides leadership-development, training and mentoring support to residents who are interested in learning how to plan, organise and host activities in their own streets in order to build communities that are safe, strong, caring & connected. Through this we also aim to help improve civic engagement. If neighbourhoods are at the heart of communities, then families are at the heart of our neighbourhoods. The benefits of strong and healthy families feed outwards into the neighbourhood and the community, and the neighbourhood and community, in turn, feed back into the strength of the family.
