The Neighbourhood Initiatives team is committed to positive and sustainable progress, particularly in Reading’s most deprived neighbourhoods. We believe this can only be achieved when local people have the confidence and support to realise their potential. We work in partnership with local people and a range of other services, agencies and stakeholders to support the delivery of community led initiatives that impact on community safety, crime reduction, health, social cohesion, poverty and economic development.
