Volunteer board members needed for Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board

We are looking for volunteer board members for the new Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board in New Addington North, Croydon.

The board will develop and oversee a £20 million community-led regeneration programme in New Addington North, Croydon.

The board members will act as champions for New Addington North and its residents, ensuring that decision-making is community-led and that the Programme delivers lasting social, economic and environmental benefits.

You need to demonstrate:

  • local roots and involvement – ideally you live or work in New Addington North
  • any experience you already have of participating in community groups, partnerships or boards in a collaborative and inclusive manner
  • your connections in the local area and how you will reach and engage with a broad cross-section of the community
  • a clear commitment to community-led decision-making and empowering local people, with a passion for the place and the people
  • ability to work constructively with a range of partners, including residents, businesses, politicians, local authority staff and other local organisations
  • your ideas for positive change and improvement of this place

This is an exciting opportunity to play an important part in a new approach to community leadership. 

You will:

  • help local people take real ownership of the £20 million Pride in Place investment fund, strengthen community pride and cohesion, and create lasting improvements to places, facilities and opportunities that matter most to residents
  • work with passionate community members, the Executive Mayor, local authority staff and the local MP to leave a meaningful legacy, ensuring local voices are at the heart of decisions and that New Addington North’s potential is realised for generations to come
