Community Development

A disagreement with a neighbour, roommate, family member, friend, landlord, community member, or someone else, can create stress in your life and make you angry or afraid. Conflicts that are left unresolved or are poorly managed often get worse.

Our free, confidential and voluntary community mediation service helps you change the way you communicate during conflict and provides a collaborative approach to conflict resolution. Since 1985, we’ve handled more than 6,000 cases and helped participants come to an agreement 80% of the time. 

Easy Access Voicemail provides a low-cost voicemail service to people in our community. Having voicemail is an important step to get housing, a job and to stay connected.

When you join, you'll get your own number, voice mail and voice mail greeting.

With food prices going up every day, the problem of food security for vulnerable people in Toronto is getting worse. At The Neighbourhood Group, we're tackling the issue by offering different programs to help people most impacted by the food security crisis. 

With our lives busier than ever, taking the time to help the environment is tough. Joining the Green Champions helps you do just that. Together, we share green tips about cooking, gardening, composting, and recycling.

If you’re struggling with legal issues, we can help. The Kensington-Bellwoods

Community Legal Services clinic is committed to help people living on low incomes resolve issues with tenant rights, immigration and refugee status, income security (CPP, OAS, ODSP & OW) and domestic violence.

The problems people in our communities face are many: food insecurity, lack of affordable housing, low-paying jobs, and living below the poverty line are just a few. Changing the way our society works to fix these issues is exactly what our Social Action program does. Working together with our neighbours, we help people speak out for what's important to them, and to their communities.
