HOW TO GET MORE INVOLVED

SGRA public meetings – a friendly and social environment

At our public meetings we’ve regular updates on Grid issues, special guests providing useful information on what’s happening locally, and you can contribute to all the discussions. There’s always a “social” at the end of each meeting, where you have time to discuss things with others informally over refreshments. They take place six times a year and are normally held on the last Tuesday evening of January, March, May, July, September & November at 7.45pm. You can find details of them here.  If you can’t attend the meeting in person, and are a Grid Resident or a Friend, you will be able to join the meeting on Zoom.

Help our street representatives (Street Reps)

We’ve a network of Street Reps covering all Grid streets. Being our point of contact, Street Reps primarily deliver our newsletter ‘Grid News’ three times a year, collect our annual cash subscriptions, help publicise SGRA backed community events (e.g. putting posters on trees) as well keeping an eye out on developments or issues affecting their street. If you’d like to help them, please contact your street rep via a link here).  Also, if there is vacancy for a rep in your Street you are interested in filling please let us know at .

Share your skills and expertise with us

If you have a useful skill you feel the SGRA may benefit from, perhaps computer/IT knowledge, PR or planning expertise, do make yourself known at . The SGRA will usually have something you can help us with.
