Healthier Homes Training

rbkc logoh&f logo

We’re delighted to invite you to attend a free training session as part of their Healthier Homes project.

Healthier Homes training is available free of charge in the Boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham. The training is designed for frontline workers, volunteers and others who work with vulnerable local residents.

Training sessions will be held at Hammersmith Town Hall on:

– Friday 8 January, 2pm – 4pm
– Wednesday 20 January, 10am – 12pm

Book your place now at http://healthierhomes.eventbrite.com.

Imagine living in a home which always feels cold and where you struggle with damp and mould on your walls. Imagine risking a fall each time you use the stairs because there’s no handrail, or a shock each time you use the lights because the wiring is so old. Imagine not having enough to eat, or not being able to eat a balanced diet, because you don’t have access to or money for good quality food.

Too many people living in our Boroughs face these problems every day, putting their health and wellbeing at risk. Healthier Homes training is designed to help. This winter, we have already trained almost 150 people and we hope you’ll join our movement.

By attending the training you will:

– Gain a better understanding of the health and wellbeing risks we find in people’s home, particularly related to cold and damp, home safety and poor nutrition
– Learn about ways to identify local residents who may be struggling at home
– Find out about solutions and support that are available for local residents and how to make referrals into local support services
– Help local people live more comfortably and safely in their homes, reducing their need for hospital and GP services

The training will be interactive and informative, giving you the chance to ask plenty of questions and practice your skills.

Bookings can be made online at http://healthierhomes.eventbrite.com or by calling 020 8469 1333.

Old Oak and Park Royal Community Charrette

INVITATION

Old Oak and Park Royal Community Charrette
Saturday 5th December, 11am-4pm
@Harlesden Methodist Church, 25 High Street, London NW10 4NE

 

The Community Charrette will be facilitated by JTP (architects and placemakers) in collaboration with London Tenants Federation, Just Space and University College London.

Through workshops and hands-on planning groups we will discuss key issues in relation to the development of Old Oak and Park Royal including how to shape a future strategy for community participation over the next 20/30 years to ensure “opportunity for all”. A key aim will be to enable the community to better and more positively respond to the forthcoming Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation Local Plan consultations.

A Charrette involves community members and stakeholders collaborating with professionals in a workshop setting to co-create plans and strategies for places. Charrettes are being promoted by Civic Voice, the national charity for Civic Societies in England, as a way of involving communities in shaping development processes in their areas.

Please RSVP as soon as you can to register for the event by contacting Eva Psychrani at grandunionalliance.eva@gmail.com or call/text 07784286809
