What your organisation does

Killicomaine Residents Group is committed to creating a safer, more inclusive, and vibrant community for everyone who lives, works, and plays in the area. Through early intervention and a strong focus on education, we provide opportunities for participation, volunteering and voice to build a better future together. To achieve our goals, we run

several projects. Dig Killicomaine, an intergenerational allotment initiative offering three weekly sessions to teach gardening and life skills by growing vegetables whilst fostering a connection with nature. Hype Tots provides parents and toddlers with a supportive space to help families thrive and ensure young children have the best start in life. The Community Fridge offers affordable food to reduce living costs and combat social isolation. Hype Learning provides after-school support, helping young people with homework and promoting education as a transformative tool. Hype Play provides a safe space for young people to explore, learn, and grow through play. Our people centred approach is reflected in our wider engagement at annual events, including the July Fun Day, Pumpkin Patch, and Christmas Celebrations. We also represent the community in inter-agency forums and housing networks, advocating for improvements to local infrastructure. By engaging with government departments and statutory agencies, we strive to address local challenges and enhance Killicomaine as a welcoming and thriving place for all.
