Come along to find out how Colours of Redbridge is helping local communities, and how you can help.

How well did Colours of Redbridge do over the past year? Would you like to help shape the next part of the programme? This is your chance to tell us how you think we’re doing and say what goes in the annual evaluation report.

Our evaluation partner, ResPeo, will be presenting some of their findings from the last 12 months, and taking feedback from the session to ensure that your voice is heard. It will also be a chance to meet some of the people involved in the programme and to hear about the exciting projects we’re launching in 2025.

There will also be free snacks and drinks for everyone in a freindly and relaxed setting.

Who is this for?

Anyone living, working or studying in Redbridge who has been involved in Colours of Redbridge so far, or would like to know more about our work to make the area a better place to live.

What is the format of the session?

There will be a short presentation from ResPeo to show what has been achieved over the past 12 months. There will also be a couple of short case studies from local community members and a chance to ask any questions. Then for the second part of the session, we will ask you to help solve some of the challenges that Colours of Redbridge is facing to make the programme as good as it can possibly be. There are two sessions: one at 4pm and one at 6pm, so choose the one that’s best for you.

What will I get out of it?

You will also get to make new contacts in Redbridge, fund out about ways to get involved with Colours of Redbridge and find out what exciting activities are coming up in 2025. There will also be free food and drink provided.
