About the Association
We meet regularly
to discuss a wide range of issues affecting all local residents.
We focus on promoting the
activities of Levenshulme community groups. We campaign to improve our poor
local community facilities. We also connect local groups through our directory
and by holding community forum meetings. We undertake projects with others to
celebrate our local community recent examples include the a health picnic as
part of Levenshulme health week, supporting the Levenshulme Christmas lights,
and the Levenshulme Oscars, awards for local volunteers
We provide a place for raising
issues affecting the community, such as crime and community safety, transport,
youth activities, sports, education and leisure facilities. Supporting local
services available to all who live and work in Levenshulme.

If you are part of a local group and want to be included in our community directory

So where is Levenshulme?
Levenshulme lies 3 miles south east of the city centre of Manchester, UK. Its
area is roughly the same as the M19 postcode. It’s a typical inner city
area, with a diverse culture, a fair range of social problems, a run down environment.
But its a lively and generally friendly place, with around 15,000 residents.
For some reason known only to whatever civil servant responsible, Levsnshulme is divided straight down the middle into two wards, Levenshulme and Gorton South, with the strange result that most of Levenshulme's amenities and a fairly large segment of the poeple who regard themselves as living in Levenshulme offically live in Gorton. This has produced problems in the past.
There is a lot of owner occupied and rented housing, and a good shopping district based along the Stockport Road (including a good number of antique shops and restaurants). There are also a number of pubs, many catering for the Irish community, and lots of late night take-aways (so also lots of litter at times).
