We motivate individuals to be their true selves, we love connecting with our community.
We are a group of residents that live on and around the Bemerton Estate which as far back as the 1950s, Islington had already become synonymous with gentrification and the gap between rich and poor.
Cally Connects-Us are a group of local residents who have come together to strengthen community connections in the Caledonian Road area.
Through sharing ideas, experiences and skills, we will empower residents to develop, grow and sustain their own small grass roots projects to improve life in the area.
