For #HealthyLifestyles month, we have a special episode dedicated entirely to young people, air pollution, and asthma resources across Hammersmith & Fulham. Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting adolescents, with approx 800,000 young people affected in the UK. As an increasing health concern for young people across London, asthma education and resources are an incredibly important issue to cover. Young H&F brings together youth organisations, businesses, local government, schools, funders, and the wider community to create opportunities for young people. We want a happier, safer, and healthier Hammersmith & Fulham! To continue the conversation about young people and youth services throughout H&F, we have started our very first podcast series, Change the Narrative. We’ll be hearing about asthma awareness, resources, air pollution and local responses, as well as the work schools, health providers, youth orgs, local charities and more are doing to support young people with asthma and those concerned with air pollution across the borough! Each month, we’ll be sharing these episodes to raise awareness around our five areas of focus: mental health, education, healthy lifestyles, youth justice, employability. We will be featuring guests from across our network: young people, youth workers, councilors… people who care about our Hammersmith & Fulham community. Tune in to Change the Narrative, and find out how we’re all working together and how you can get involved!

Supported by The Mayor of London’s Culture Seeds, The WoWC is a free, weekly, artistic expression project for women who are residents of White City Estate.

No art experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. The WoWC project is the brainchild of The RENA Initiative (Recognise, Empower & Nurture Artists). The mission of this social enterprise is to create a world where art galleries and museums reflect the diversity of the local population, and where self-expression through visual arts is available for all. The WoWC project is part of The RENA Initiative’s commitment to establish art programs in disadvantaged communities, creating the opportunity for empowerment, inspiration and improved mental health and well-being. The WoWC commences on Thursday 1st August 2019 at 10:30am – 12:30pm at White City Community Centre. Advance booking is essential as spaces are limited. Priority will be given to residents of White City Estate who are either isolated, unemployed or elderly. Please see the flyer for more details.
