About the website
Who runs the website?
This community website was created to serve you, the residents of Knowle West.
The site is moderated and administrated by the Knowle West Alliance team but it belongs to everyone.
The purpose of the website is to provide local people with a central space to know what activities are available to everyone, the organisations and groups you can get involved in as well as sharing good news stories across the community.
In order for this site to truly belong to the community, we built a space that is equally accessible for all.
We have made it easy for anybody in the community; organisations, schools, local residents and you, to be able to upload good news stories, events and activities.
Local people can become community reporters and organisations, groups and businesses can use the site as a promotional tool.
We welcome stories and information from everyone in the Knowle West community, however we reserve the right to remove anything that contains offensive language, incite violence or illegal activity, or are abusive, racist, sexist or homophobic.
