Our Impact
Since 2008 we have reached and engaged at least 170,000 residents and visitors of south Westminster!
And we annually work with around 70 partners to deliver the Festival and its projects.
Each year we bring joy, opportunity and connection to our participants and partners.
- We improve wellbeing, education, positive placemaking and community cohesion
- We decrease social isolation
- We increase reach, engagement and connection for partner organisations, and increase awareness and access for residents
We improve the condition of life for our community.
Case Studies
“LEYF Nurseries have taken part in SouthWestFest for over 14 years, regularly taking up the opportunity to become a sponsor of the event.
The partnership we have with SouthWestFest is very important to us as an organisation. It’s important to our organisation to stay connected with the local community and there’s no better way than to work with SouthWestFest.
The festival allows us to connect with other organisations and build relationships with families in the community.”
Tania Costa, Marketing & Communications Executive, LEYF Nurseries
