If you would like to drop in, please join us on Wednesday 25th March — you will be warmly welcomed.

Community Workshops – Have Your Say

We have secured funding to support our local resident community through targeted workshops.

We are currently reaching out to ask whether there are any pressing topics, concerns, or areas of interest that you would like more information or support with. This is part of our commitment to community-led engagement.

Please get in touch with your suggestions — this funding is here to support you.

Community Safety Update

The police continue to play their part in helping to keep our community safe. They are providing ongoing progress reports for the area, contributing to transparency and shared awareness around local safety matters.

Community safety remains a collective effort, and we value the partnership approach being taken.

Looking Ahead

As we move further into the year, our focus remains on strengthening partnerships, increasing engagement, and ensuring that our activities reflect the needs of our local residents. Your feedback and participation continue to shape the direction of NHA.

We are particularly encouraged by the growth in attendance at our London Colney sessions and the positive feedback from members who value the welcoming and supportive environment. These gatherings are not just activities — they are helping to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and build stronger local connections.
