"The group started off around security after one of us had a break in, but its really taken off!  They're planning a Street Celebration for VE Day "

"I watched my neighbours clapping on a Thursday and  realised I wanted this good feeling to carry on"

What is Hartleneighbours

What is it about?

 

What is Hartleneighbours?

 Hartleneighbours is about encouraging supportive connections between neighbours and communities by providing resources and  sharing good ideas across the town.  We know being neighbourly makes us feel good and often people are encouraged by seeing others being neighbourly.


What’s involved in setting up a street network?

There's been many examples of people setting up their own networks.  If you are looking for some pointers then Hartlepower suggests you use the resources on this website.


Below is one possible way of getting started – based on what we know has worked in Hartlepool so far. 


  • Making contact and inviting neighbours into your street network –  Examples of ways to make contact are shown here  


  • Sharing preferred contact details with one another – – such as our landline/mobile number and/or email address. Everyone choosing to join the network should feel comfortable with what they’re sharing with other people. Some street networks have had fun choosing a name.


  • Staying in touch –  to see some of the ways in which street networks are staying in touch click here


  • Looking out for one another –without being intrusive, be aware of how people are managing. For example, noticing that someone who is usually active hasn’t been seen for a while might ring an alarm bell. There is plenty of support in Hartlepool – click here  to see what’s available and for contact details.  


  • Supporting one another – · Help one another – Supporting neighbours can be both practical and emotional. Practical help provided through street networks so far has included shopping, fetching prescriptions and gardening. Simply by staying in touch from time to time is emotionally supportive.


  • Come together with other networks – Hartlepower are offering to host meetings for your network to learn and share with others.  If you think this would be useful then get in touch

When communities work together, the possibilities for positive change are endless. Community organising is the work of bringing people together to take action around their common concerns and overcome social injustice. Community organisers reach out and listen, connect and motivate people to build their collective power. When people are organised, communities get heard and power begins to shift creating real change for good.
