The July Community Builders Newsletter is another full issue from our community builders. There are plenty of awareness campaigns including Plastic Free July, Good Care Month, Independent Retailer Month and Samaritans Awareness Month, alongside simple ways residents can get involved.

It also shares a busy programme of events across Southend, including the Leigh Art Trail, Kite Festival, Pride Inside and Music in the Park, as well as regular community groups offering friendship, activities and support. The newsletter also encourages local people to become City Connectors and help share information, strengthen connections and bring people together in their neighbourhoods.
