We recently held a successful design workshop, developing ideas for a new community storage and garden on derelict site in Walthamstow. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of @WMBigLocal , @FRPonline and dedicated local residents the project is generating a lot of support.

Are you ready for #BrewMonday? That special day when we encourage everyone to reach out to someone else over a cuppa and ask how they really are? ☕️ Here are some suggested questions for such conversations... 💚
Four speech bubbles suggesting what you might say to someone who seems low, including: 'How are things? I've noticed you don't seem quite yourself.' 'How's that making you feel?' 'Is there anything you'd like to do that might make you feel better?' 'If it helps, you can talk to me any time.'
