Following on from the success of our Christmas season we have started the new year with a renewed focus on nurturing all participants in our Health and Wellbeing programme. We will continue with an extensive range of activities and training programmes. Behind the scenes we are operating in very challenging times in regard to funding for these activities and we are working to secure funding to continue to offer this programme. Our clients tell us that we are the only place in Brent that provide a range of opportunities under one roof. We are situated in one of the most diverse and poor boroughs of London and as we straddle Barnet and Camden also we can be overlooked.
A volunteer in the week before Christmas prepared this snapshot of some of the activities offered that week – all this plus our offer of information, advice and guidance!
