Covid has brought property right up to the top of the agenda for charities, and has highlighted in many cases the need for a fundamental shift in how they use and occupy land. This also has implications for what charities should be looking at in respect of their existing premises.
This virtual roundtable on Thursday 26 November, 11:00 – 12:30 will be chaired by partner Andrew Small of Russell-Cooke with Dr. Peter Damesick, Chair and Antonia Swinson CEO of The Ethical Property Foundation and Catherine Flexer, associate from Russell-Cooke. The discussion will explore these topics in light of the results from the ‘2020 Charity Property Matters surveyed’, conducted by EPF and sponsored by Russell-Cook
This meeting will be an interactive session. You will be virtually introduced to the speakers and have the opportunity to ask questions. If you would like to submit questions ahead of the meeting, feel free to email us.

Join Change Grow Live – Connecting London to mark this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week which runs from Monday 16-22 November on the theme of ‘Alcohol and mental health’. The campaign provides an ideal opportunity to highlight the link between alcohol and mental health and how by making changes to our drinking behaviour we can reduce our risk of developing or worsening mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Connecting London is a partnership of Change Grow Live services across the London area. During Alcohol Awareness Week, we’ll be hosting events and activities on Zoom and sharing resources. For more information and to access the full timetable, click here.
We will kick start the week with an online event via Zoom on Monday 16th Of November at 11am.

Are you a local unpaid carer, or do you have a family member or friend who is? Thursday 26 November is Carers Rights Day 2020! This is a national day to raise awareness about your rights and where you can get help and support!
Carers Network is a local charity supporting unpaid carers in central London. We would love to be out and about in the community meeting local carers, but due to current restrictions we are instead going to be hosting an online ‘virtual stall’ on the day. Why not pop in, meet the team over a cup of tea or coffee, and find out how we can help you! We will have a morning session from 11am-1pm and an afternoon session from 2pm-4pm. We’d love to meet as many carers on day as possible. There is no need to register, and the log-in details are the same for the morning and afternoon:
