6 in 2016: Connecting to our ever-changing city

Please note: this post is 96 months old and The Cares Family is no longer operational. This post is shared for information only

Doreen is a good friend of so many of the older and younger neighbours that hang out and help one another through North London Cares. Although she's had a difficult time in 2016, Doreen remains a regular at our Kentish Town social club – always with a good nature and a smile on her face.

Recently, Doreen's daughter Anna saw her mum saying bye to her Granddaughter at the door with a new gesture that she didn't recognise. 

It turns out Doreen had a new routine: to "brush the dirt" of the day off her shoulders – a move Doreen's shared since spending the day with friends learning about hip-hop culture with Damien from B-Better through North London Cares. 

This is exactly the sort of thing our social clubs are made for: helping older and younger neighbours to connect to one another through our wonderful changing city.
