Anna Kelderman is a leader of Leederville Connect and has been volunteering to help to improve and promote Leederville for years.

Why does she do it? “For me, it aligns with my professional passion for community engagement. Leederville Connect provides a platform to extend these efforts beyond conventional boundaries, focusing not just on buildings, but on fostering community spaces”, she says.

“Initially, our focus was on creating vibrant experiences, activations, and lively events. However, our perspective gradually expanded. We developed the Leederville narrative, delving into the physical representation of our town, our broader community. Later, our emphasis shifted to social infrastructure, emphasising inclusivity, safety, and sustainability. We’re not just a friendly place, we are actively participating in accessibility, supporting homelessness in Leederville, and trying to create a space to have conversations about societal aspects that affect communities that are part of our locality.
