WHAT IS N.E.L.C.E?
North East London Community Engagement [NELCE] is a resident-based, action-oriented volunteer group celebrating and strengthening the community of Northeast London. NELCE is a forum for residents to voice concerns and issues. We support a strong sense of community pride and participation, provide opportunities for community leadership, and celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of London's Northeast.
