August can be a quieter month, with many services taking a summer pause or running on reduced hours. At Ashford Place, however, we know that support, connection and wellbeing are needed all year round — so we are very much open and here for the community.
Whether you need advice, a friendly conversation, or a place to take the next step, appointments and drop-in support are available throughout August. If we can help straight away, we will — and if something needs a little more time, we can arrange an appointment with one of our team.
This is not just light-touch support. We know that council tax arrears letters, rent disputes, signing a new lease, or booking an urgent flight home cannot always wait until September. These are important, time-sensitive matters, and our team is here to help people respond, understand their options and take the next practical step.
Our wellbeing activities are also continuing uninterrupted, because wellbeing cannot wait. From group sessions and social activities to opportunities to keep active, creative and connected, there is always something happening here and a warm welcome waiting.
And of course, our café remains open too — serving what may well be the cheapest coffees in town, along with a friendly space to meet, eat, chat or simply pause for a while. Ice-cream, trifle and fruit salads are all helping people keep cool in this scorching summer. Our summer salads are a popular item and reminding many of our service users of summers at home!
So if August feels a little quiet elsewhere, do pop in and see us. Visit Ashford Place at 60 Ashford Road, London NW2 6TU, call 020 8208 8590, email [email protected], or keep an eye on our website and Instagram to see what we are up to.
