Thank you to our Funders

Over the years, we have delivered many different projects helping to build a healthier, stronger and safer Haringey, so we thought we'd take a moment to celebrate the funders who have helped make this happen:

We've built a healthier Haringey:

Grow It, Cook It Project

Through generous funding from the City Bridge Foundation, we supported 50 families to increase their knowledge of gardening skills and improve their well-being. 59 families learnt how to cook healthy, nutritious meals for their families through our cooking classes. 50 families increased their well-being through attending our well-being activities.

"It is a nice space to spend time with the kids and get out on Saturdays to do gardening. You feel like a family, and it is good to see all your friends back every week."
