The Newington Green Action Group was formed in 1997 to bring about the regeneration of the historic, Newington Green, through local community effort.

 

We have always felt strongly about the ‘Action Group’ part of our name…

Since March 12th, as it became clear that coronavirus was going to hit our community hard, we decided to focus our efforts on coordinating a community response to the virus and its effects.
Since then we have helped hundreds of residents and connected many more by:

  • Recruiting and verifying over 300 volunteers

  • Bought and delivered groceries for those self isolating/unable to reach a shop

  • Collected prescriptions

  • Made phone calls to those feeling vulnerable or isolated

  • Advised on matters of council tax, universal credit, government grants & setting up online banking

  • Delivered over 15,000 leaflets to the Mildmay/Newington Green area

  • Started a newsletter that reaches thousands each week

  • Collaborated with local businesses, primary schools, food banks and mental health charities

Our response has led to:
