Legacy
Happy Christmas! Today in our series of fond memories from 2016, we think back to all the amazing activities young people have been part of to support their older neighbours – by running, talking and climbing all over the country.
In the second in our series of 6 magical moments from 2016, the world famous Jazz Cafe in Camden Town opens its doors to our older neighbours for a wonderful Christmas shindig right on our doorsteps...
In the first of our reflections on some of our most magical moments of 2016, we recall a special afternoon of dancing – and how it helped on older neighbour find new connection to her city.
In the second part of our Christmas special of the North London Stories podcast, Fran, Michael, Peter, Niamh, Catherine and Jonathan talk of their special Christmas memories, and how friendship and stories mean so much at this and every other time of year...
Earlier in December neighbours came together in the heart of Camden, much as they have each month this past year, to share time, friendship and stories. Listen in to the latest edition of the North London Stories podcast – and get festive with your older neighbours...
Piera and Sophie have been friends for two years. They were introduced through our Love Your Neighbour Programme at North London Cares, which matches up older and younger neighbours who wouldn’t normally get the chance to know one another for conversation and companionship.
In October North London Cares paired up with the Little Angel Theatre to run a five-week puppet making workshop. We invited older neighbours and volunteers to sign up and join the project to create puppets with one of the UK’s leading puppet theatres right here in one of our home boroughs, Islington.
Dolly and Anna have been friends for a year and a half. They were introduced through our Love Your Neighbour Programme at North London Cares, which matches up older and younger neighbours who wouldn’t normally get the chance to know one another for conversation and companionship.
