Street Pride
There are Street Pride groups in
The purpose of the Street Pride project is to build community pride and ownership through improving the local environment and making Fenland a cleaner, greener and safer place to live, work and visit.
- Street Pride gives volunteers the opportunity to make a difference to their local environment by holding clean up events. It is a great way to meet like-minded people, good exercise and very rewarding.
- People feel they get on better with their neighbours, contributing to the Safer Fenland Partnership key priorities, reducing crime and fear of crime by improving community cohesion, reducing anti-social behaviour through building respect in communities and improving community engagement.
- Street Pride works across the district, with all ages - young and old, from all different backgrounds, primary schools, Pupil Referral Unit, community colleges, FEET (Fenland Environment Enhancement Team) working with probation, with offenders who have community payback hours.
- During 2009 - 2010, nearly 2000 volunteer hours have been donated and there has been 159 events across the district.
