What difference will you make?

We are a Neighbourhood Planning Forum and a registered charity set up to bring together Harlesden’s diverse community so that we can decide how to make our home a better place to live, work, and leisure and to help us deliver on that vision. The Forum was established in 2014 by local organisations and designated in 2015 by the London Borough of Brent and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation under the Localism Act 2011.
