Training, consultancy & project management services on street parties
Street parties are a powerful way of developing neighbourliness.
Local authorities and community groups can play a small but critical role
in helping residents to make them happen with simple road closure procedures or by low key facilitation.
How Streets Alive Can Help
Streets Alive has 6 years' experience of supporting residents, training council staff as well as community workers. We are continually developing best practice from around the country. We offer training, consultancy and project management services tailored to your needs.
1. Residents want your help but are not sure how to go about it.
For example, a Traffic Department of a London Borough called on our advice as they realised that their road closure procedures were a block to street parties, as they confused them with large public events.
2. Promoting neighbourliness as part of community development.
For example, one community group asked Streets Alive for a training session of community workers as part of their long term community skills programme.
3. Involving residents as part of a regeneration programme.
For example, the Community Development Team of one council employed Streets Alive to project manage work with residents to encourage participation through street parties in the lead up to a community festival.
4. You want to promote neighbourliness in a community.
Streets Alive supported 16 new street parties in one area in Street Party Capital. We can provide training in how to go carry out this type of project.
