New Heights Community Project was initially established by a group of people from [Christ the King] parish in the area of Kingstanding. They met to discuss some of the issues they faced. Afraid of crime, fed up of vandalism against their homes and Church, sometimes isolated, but still concerned for others, they discussed what they could do to effect change.
Established in 2004, we aim to play a key part in empowering a socially deprived community, with complex problems, to find and manage solutions to their predicaments. We want our community to be vibrant with high aspirations for all groups within it.
The New Heights (Warren Farm) Community Project became a Registered Charity (RC No: 1120869) in September 2007, it is governed by Articles of Memorandum with the following Aims and Objectives:
