Since 1997, the Urban Partnership Groups’ mission is to improve the health, wealth, and well-being of residents of the Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and build community involvement in economic, social and environmental regeneration.

UPG was formed through a European Social Fund programme known as Urban which was set up to help residents on the Edward Woods and White City estates. In 2008 it merged with the Blythe Neighbourhood Council which ran the Masbro Centre extending its coverage area. Over the years UPG has grown and now operates services and activities from six Centres in the Borough.

These activities include running Children’s Centres, family outreach provision, borough-wide parenting classes, nursery provision and crèche services, sports and leisure facilities, an older people service, estate-based community and public health community & maternity champions projects, volunteering, adult education classes, employment support service, art and pottery workshops, as well as managing space for the wider community to use. UPG see approximately 4,500 service users a week.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
