R.E.A.C.T
Residents of Edmonton Angel Community Together
REACT works with and seeks to represent more than 3000 households in Upper Edmonton. Edmonton is one of the most neglected and marginalized wards in Enfield.
We aim to change negative representations in the media, by working with local people, stakeholders, businesses and agencies through collective and inclusive social value benevolence.
We continue to ensure residents voices, their perspectives in changing the negative narrative are taken into account when decisions are made for the area.
- REACT is a voluntary, non-political, non-denominational, not-for-profit making and a community based organisation.
- REACT continues to work with all the Meridian Water development partners in enabling a mutually beneficial relationship and improvement in the living standards of our existing community within Upper Edmonton Ward.
- REACT continues to encourage community participation by campaigning for better housing, cleaner environment and greater opportunities for Upper Edmonton.
