"Since
1999, New Opportunities for Walthamstow (NOW) has helped
people and businesses in Walthamstow create exactly that:
new opportunities.
This website describes and profiles the projects
that have contributed to this £56m regeneration,
and details the benefits NOW has delivered to the local
community.
A belief in empowering local people lies at the heart
of NOW's philosophy. Individual projects are managed by
local people for the benefit of the wider community, and
this grass-roots involvement, together with the support
of the Council, has been crucial to
NOW's success.
We can all be proud of the results. The site profiles
how the NOW projects have made, and are continuing to
make, such a positive difference to the area where we
live and work. Many of these projects are still active
and I encourage you to get involved. You can also read
more about NOW's successes and its projects in a booklet
called 'Investing In People, Communities and Business'
which is available from this site, as well as libraries
and Council offices around the area.
My thanks go to my fellow Board members, the project leaders
and all the staff who have worked so hard to make NOW
such a success. But particular thanks must go to the people
of Walthamstow. The success of NOW is their success."

Chair, NOW Board
