Community projects
Search for community-led projects that are either underway or are looking to get support from people in your area.
Find out what help people are looking for and how you can get involved and contact the project owner or sponsor. Even if you can't help out yourself you can easily share the projects with people in your own network that might be able to. It's also a great way of finding out what’s going on in your area.

Idea
Traveller Mural
The local Traveller site in Acton is a grey, concrete piece of land, without any safe play facilities for the children, many of which have additional medical needs. We would like to see colourful, bright murals to reflect their culture, on site, in order for the children to feel proud of where they live.
