Our
Projects

Choices have been a Diverse Communities Health Voice (DCHV) partner for many

years, delivering workshops with a focus on health prevention and providing information based on residents’ need.

As a partnership, we share our skills and insight to strengthen each other’s’ work.

We want to engage communities on issues that matter to them, in ways that are accessible and meaningful to them. We don’t ask people to give us their opinion without giving them information or support in return.

We are working together to gather insight from the Islington residents that our organisations represent so that these can inform service provision and commissioning, increasing equality of access.

We offer a weekly food bank every Tuesday. Please contact us for details at choiceslondoncic@gmail.com

Islington Stop & Search CMG

CMGs have a vital role in delivering this accountability, by acting as
independent overseers of the use of police powers in their boroughs, providing a voice for their local communities, communicating the experiences of street encounters especially around stop and search.
The monitoring process exists to improve the trust and confidence of the public in the way the police employ stop and search interactions, examine any apparent unfairness in the way they operate; and to hold their local commanders and officers accountable on policies and practices so as to assist in driving down disproportionality.
CMGs are groups comprised of volunteer members of the community. They will monitor all local Stop and Search issues including the legal powers, number of stops, arrest rates, disproportionality, complaints and Body Worn Video footage. CMGs can also identify and share best practice with other CMGs through their membership of the London-wide Community Monitoring Network (CMN). The CMN is the MOPAC mechanism to assist in delivering community scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police Service use of stop and search
powers.
