JOIN THE BOARD
Apply to join the neighbourhood board.
If you care about Raffles & Morton - and you've ever thought "someone should do something about this" - this is your chance to be that someone. We're putting together the first neighbourhood board, and we'd love you to consider joining us.
You don't need to be an expert, or have done anything like this before. You just need to live locally, care about the area, and be willing to help shape how £20 million is spent here over the next ten years. Have a read, and if it sounds like you, please apply.

WHAT THE BOARD DOES
Three things, in plain English.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You don't need experience of boards or committees. We're looking for a mix of people who live in Raffles or Morton - different ages, backgrounds and walks of life - who care about the area and can give a few hours a month. Training and support is provided.
