Fairness and Equality

Shoeburyness Residents Association

Alongside representing the community within the Council, they have developed groups that support the physical and mental health of residents, and arrange local support services such as shopping, dog walking and rubbish clearance. 

A grant from us has enabled them to install an innovative solar powered audio talking bench on Shoebury East beach. The built in device  plays prerecorded messages which change regularly, to give people a positive message and boost to their day.  This was put in following the lifts to COVID-19 lockdowns as they found people were more hesitant to leave their homes and concerns for loneliness increased.
