It has been a very busy but productive year as the Heston West<br />

Big Local community continues to grow. Here are just a few<br />

examples of the developing projects and growing initiatives<br />

which are so much part of our thriving community.<br />

A Year in the work of<br />

Heston West Big Local 2018-<strong>2019</strong><br />

Legacy and Youth Engagement - Heston West lead at the Big Local London<br />

Learning Cluster Event<br />

On Saturday 22nd June <strong>2019</strong> – We were invited by WSA Community and Local Trust to run two Big Local<br />

workshops – Legacy and Youth Engagement at the Big Local London Learning Cluster Event held at St<br />

Luke’s Community Centre. We were also joined by several other Big Local areas across London including:<br />

Barnfield, Wick Award, Broad Green, Grange, Plaistow South and William Morris. In the morning session,<br />

our Chair Alan Fraser led the Legacy Workshop alongside Callum. Alan went through the work we’ve done<br />

so far to address future issues and our legacy, including inviting young people to be part of the discussion.<br />

During the session, Alan helped the other clusters to identify their goals, ambition and what they would<br />

like to be remembered for. In the afternoon session, Taz alongside Layba, Callum, Brooke and Kapil led the<br />

Youth Engagement Workshop. We outlined the work we had already done with young people and families<br />

and also shared a few case studies of the young people present at the event. We then asked the other areas<br />

a series of questions to help stimulate our discussion. ​We asked them to identify their current strengths in<br />

working and engaging young people and also the barriers and challenges they are facing. Taz also spoke<br />

about connecting to schools, how to make sure you are getting all the credit and not just being a logo at<br />

the bottom of a flyer.<br />

​We were impressed with our youngsters’ fantastic confidence, their enthusiasm and passion about the Big<br />

Local which inspired everyone.<br />

Our Big Local Community Gardens<br />

Project is underway...<br />

We have just begun work developing our new Big<br />

Local Community Conservation Garden at <strong>Cranford</strong><br />

Community College. An amazing 40 local people turned<br />

up to kick start our Big Local Conservation Area project<br />

at <strong>Cranford</strong> on Saturday 30th March <strong>2019</strong>. Our fantastic<br />

volunteers got together to pull weeds and clear up the<br />

site at our Conservation Clean Up Day and now we<br />

are ready to put our dreams and plans in action. Some<br />

of our ideas from our recent community consultation<br />

include:<br />

A Café, picnic tables, tepee, vegetable and fruit patch,<br />

raised flower beds, play area for kids, mosaics, sheds<br />

for storage/ Big Local groups, tyres for planting, chalk<br />

boards for kids, swing chair set, fixing up the outdoor<br />

classroom and stage area (on filled pond space), fire pit<br />

and fairy tree doors.<br />
