- Settled 17 refugee families across Harrow and Brent.
- Campaigned for youth and street safety.

What are we campaigning for?
The priority issues voted on by members in our community include:
- Building affordable housing, especially on large new developments like the Old Oak Common.
- Tackling homelessness and its causes, including poor mental health support.
