GET CONNECTED & ACTIVE
Strong communities are built when residents, local businesses and councillors work together.
Woodhouse Ward is home to many people who care deeply about protecting local services, improving public spaces, supporting their neighbours and shaping the future of the area.
This section highlights local campaigns, volunteering opportunities, community groups and ways to get involved in improving the ward and Barnet more broadly.
Residents interested in helping organise around local issues are encouraged to get in touch.
Our North Finchley
Our North Finchley is a resident-led grassroots campaign formed to challenge large-scale over-development in North Finchley. Locals formed the group to challenge Regal/Arada and the Council and to push for community-focused regeneration.
The campaign has held pubic meetings, bringing together residents, community stake-holders and local politicians, run hugely successful petitions and continues to build momentum locally.

Woodhouse Clean-up
Across Woodhouse and the wider Finchley area, local residents are already doing brilliant work to keep our streets, parks and green spaces clean through informal litter picks and community clean-ups.
If you are already involved in litter picking locally, or would like to get involved, please join our Woodhouse Clean-up WhatsApp group.
I want to help to connect and co-ordinate existing local litter-picking groups, residents interested in organising street clean-ups, schools and youth groups, parks and friends groups and local businesses who may wish to support community clean-up efforts.
Woodhouse Ward Panel
The Woodhouse Ward Panel is a community group that works with the local Metropolitan Police Safer Neighbourhoods Team (SNT) to identify and address local policing and safety priorities.
The Panel helps tackle neighbourhood crimes, anti-social behaviour (ASB), and other community concerns.
You can email the Chair at [email protected] or call 07542 020 031 to raise local concerns, discuss issues, or join the panel.
