Street Connecting

Street Connecting is a partnership between Open Door Community Foundation and Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together.

The project started in the summer of 2016, but it was building on intentional community building in Firs and Bromford for over 10 years.

The 4 key functions of the project are:

  1. Connecting with people out and about, through door knocking, being in community spaces and what we call bumping places (school playgrounds, outside shops, the park). In these spaces we are ‘present’ offering a welcome, a hello, a conversation, and most importantly there to listen.
  2. Connecting the connectors. Coming together as a team to share with each other, learn from each other and encourage each other.
  3. Training and development. Specific learning together and supporting each other
  4. Developing street level events and activity. Across our whole neighbourhood finding new and create ways to bring people together in our neighbourhood for one off events (street parties) and new groups/activities (e.g. sewing group, stay & play and many more!)
