Community organising is now an established way of working for High Trees CDT and being a Social Action Hub provides the opportunity to promote collective action and campaigning in Tulse Hill and the neighbouring areas of West Norwood and Herne Hill.
A key local issue is gentrification and rapid social and physical change, and community organising provides a mechanism for enabling residents to have a stronger voice in local decision-making. High Trees CDT works to embed community organising as an approach amongst partner organisations, neighbourhood forums and tenants and residents associations. Ultimately this will lead to a more active, representative and civically engaged community.
