Love Your Neighbourhood Week of Action

The Love Your Neighbourhood Week of Action 2025 is open for registration.  Over 1500 volunteer hours committed so far.

Register your event

This is the second year of the Love Your Neighbourhood Week of Action, which is being held across the district of North West Leicestershire.  We would like communities to come together again to 'Love Your Neighbourhoods' between 30 June – 6 July 2025 and take the opportunity to make impactful environmental improvements to the neighbourhoods where you live. We hope the event will help communities build greener, safer, healthier, more inclusive neighbourhoods.

All you need to do is let us know what you are planning on doing, how many volunteers are taking part and how many hours your event is going to last.  You can register your activities up to 5pm on 6th July. We want to collect information on your events and celebrate volunteers' work. Our roaming reporter may even pop by to photograph your event.

Every event you record will make a difference. Please join in and 'Love Your Neighbourhood'!
