Hill Street Residents Group

Public benefits

Our group works to make residents’ lives better, as well as to make the estate a safer and a more welcoming, inclusive place to live. The direct public benefits include, reduction of social isolation, improved mental health & wellbeing, improved community cohesion, increased engagement between residents and agencies & reporting of issues within

the estate, reduction in anti-social behaviour etc. The benefits can primarily be demonstrated via resident feedback (word of mouth, facebook, project evaluations, community surveys etc.) and feedback from agencies operating in the estate (housing, policing statistics etc.). None Residents of the Hill Street estate Lisburn, and surrounding areas. Our volunteers undertake training which may be of use to them in other aspects of their life, but this training is necessary to enable the day to day operation of Hill Street Residents Group.
