Ealing residents invited to join Town Teams
Ealing residents, businesses and community groups can apply to join local Town Teams and help decide practical priorities for their area, from high street improvements to cleaner green spaces.
The volunteer roles are part of Your Voice, Your Town, a community-led programme supported by Ealing Council. Applications close at 11.45pm on Sunday 21 June 2026.
Town Teams cover Ealing’s seven local areas
Town Teams bring together residents, businesses, community and faith groups, and councillors across the borough’s seven towns. Members meet regularly to agree local priorities and help turn ideas into action.
The work can include planning community events, identifying problems such as safety or cleanliness, supporting local projects and working with the council or partner organisations where action is needed.
Ealing Council says funding may be used to support local ideas where required. The model is intended to give people who know their area a clearer route into decision-making, rather than leaving local priorities only to formal council processes.
Who can apply to become a member
The role is open to people who care about their area and want to take part in practical local improvements. Applicants do not need to already hold a community role.
Town Teams are expected to include a mix of residents, local organisations, businesses, faith groups and councillors, so different experiences and views are represented when priorities are set.
Southall Town Team member Mathan Kumar said he was motivated by changes he wanted to see locally after living in the area for more than 25 years. He said Your Voice, Your Town gave him a chance to work with others to make Southall cleaner and better for the community.

Councillor Lauren Wall, Ealing Council’s cabinet member for thriving communities, said Town Teams put more power in the hands of people who know their areas best and help strengthen local connections.
Other boroughs are also leaning on local volunteer networks for neighbourhood action, including community clean team projects focused on local maintenance and shared public spaces.
