East Ilford Betterment Partnership (EIBP) works on behalf of disadvantaged local people living in the Ilford wards of Redbridge, London. We support people of multiple faiths, cultures and racial groups to integrate into the community, to develop aspirations and realise those aspirations. Much of our work is undertaken in the Clementswood and Loxford areas – where levels of deprivation are high and there is a majority ethnic population with lack of integration of groups into the community.
EIBP also organises and runs charitable events for the benefit of local people. In doing so, we work with a wide range of public and voluntary sector partners. These include Redbridge Council, other local charities and community groups.
Our services are delivered through the Clementswood Community Centre. All are community-focused and aimed at achieving engagement, social integration and safer, healthier communities.
We have had many achievements during the last twelve months, including:
Commissioning and build of the Redbridge Peace Monument
A series of community information events and BBQ’s
Work with local police and Clementswood communities on Safer Neighbourhood Policing
Mosaic art classes for children
Engaging Volunteers in participation of events focused on lively, well-integrated and healthy society
Peace Events – including during September 2012 as part of the London Week of Peace
Sporting events – for parents and children and including football, hockey and basketball
Queen’s Jubilee Street Party
Work with the police and local authority in setting up ‘No Drinking Zones’ and appropriate signage.
