Levenshulme Community Association represents residents, community groups and organisations in Levenshulme, south Manchester.
Purpose and principles
The LCA exists to promote and represent the interests of Levenshulme, its residents and community organisations.
The LCA is:
a) committed to principles of equality, non-discrimination and mutual respect for the views of others;
b) independent of political parties, businesses and other private or sectional interests.
The LCA will contribute to the effectiveness of community action across Levenshulme by:
a) promoting the exchange of information, experience and resources between community-based organisations, businesses and other local groups;
b) encouraging wider participation by residents in community activities to reflect the diversity of the neighbourhood;
c) initiating and supporting campaigns for local action and improvement.
For the purposes of LCA activities, Levenshulme is understood to mean the historic township of Levenshulme, not the political boundaries, for the time being, of Levenshulme Ward.
The LCA is a not-for-profit organisation.
You can find out more about our aims and objectives developed in partnership with our community in the Levenshulme Community Manifesto HERE.

Hello
We are hopefully moving to Levenshulme towards the Fall, fingers crossed it all works out with the house! So happy to see a lively community group for the area. Looking forward to coming to a future meeting.
Allyn
I’m sure you will love Levenshulme, Allyn. There is a strong sense of community and lots going on.
We’ve had amazing success in defending our public services through the hard work, dedication and imagination of so many people so the swimming pools, gym and library will still be here waiting for you in the Autumn. Come 2015 we’ll have brand new facilities on Stockport Road as well. And we have Manchester’s only roller hockey and roller derby rink with an award winning international team.
Our new Food and Drink Festival starts on 21st June will cafes, bars and traders involved from across the area. And the Sunday Times even listed Levenshulme in the top ten up and coming vibrant places in the UK a few weeks ago.
Levenshulme is the place to be and you’ll be very welcome.
Hi, we moved to Levenshulme at the end of last year. What a lovely area so glad, we are looking to get more involved in the community so hope to see you all soon.
When are the meetings for 2019?
