Mental Health and Wellbeing Project About the Project We’ve been working with Mind in Haringey and five local organisations to organise community activities to improve Haringey residents’ mental health and wellbeing. The programme has been running since 2022 and has supported over 1,000 residents from across the borough. Improving Haringey residents' mental health and wellbeing Meet the community organisations Each of the community groups organise regular wellbeing activities that residents enjoy and look forward to. These activities are having a positive effect on residents’ mental wellbeing. Community Cook Up A community action group based in Northumberland Park. They provide emergency food and clothing support, as well as other activities such as digital support. They also organise community events for local residents.

I like this one best.” House of Polish & European Community (HoPEC) A community organisation working to improve the well-being, inclusion, and rights awareness of Polish and other European migrants living in the UK.
