Wood that Works were amazing with the young people and created a brilliant environment for them to learn new skills and contribute to the future of their local area with their creation. Thanks to Ricky, Honey and Cam at Wood that works and all the team at Camden council especially Preet, Rozita for giving our young people this opportunity.

THE PET SHOP The Community Nursery had a fun visit to the local pet shop. The children stroked the Hamsters and the Guinea Pigs, while they learned how to be gentle and kind to the animals so they can stay calm and relaxed. Although the children were full of chatter and excitement they did an amazing job! Once everyone was back at the nursery, the home corner was turned into their very own pet shop, and with a vet surgery too. All the children enjoyed joining in all the fun activities around this project. |

Foodbank Team

Foodbank updated
MLCC has teamed up with a new partner, York Way Sainsbury’s along with Camden town Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. We have reconnected with The London Irish Centre following the pandemic which is great. We are also working closely with Torriano school, our food bank has gone in their newsletter, and we are working with the school to help support the most in need. Young people are volunteering on Friday evenings in the foodbank, putting food away, packing and recycling (image on the right). It is helping them to learn new skills and gain valuable experience. Increasing referrals are coming in from family support workers. We are working with around 15-20 families a week, feeding around 40-60 people a week. This number is set to increase to above pandemic numbers as the winter sets in, along with cost-of-living crises, inflation etc. |
