Finsbury Park Trust supports and responds to community need in order to improve the lives of all people in Finsbury Park.
Our aims and objectives
Finsbury Park Trust puts on a range of activities to improve the wellbeing of local people and works in partnership with tenant organisations, local charities and other organisations to reach local communities.
Funded by Islington Council we are delighted to open up our Front Room to be a warm space on Saturdays from 12 to 3 until the end of March. We will provide warm soup and hot drinks to those in the area who need it and who want to spend some time with others. There will be a variety of wellbeing and mindfulness activities as well.
Every Monday 10.30-12.30 Women’s Happy Hub – open to all women to learn new skills
Every Tuesday 10.30-12.30 Coffee and Chat – open to everyone for good conversation and a cuppa
Food poverty is a major issue in this area, with many people unable to feed themselves and their families one hot nutritious meal a day. The diverse population includes many migrants and refugees. Asylum-seeker hostels are also located nearby, where people have no facilities to cook for themselves.
Finsbury Park Trust has a large kitchen and in partnership with Jannaty Women’s Social Society and Islington Somali Community we have begun providing hot meals when funds permit, distributing surplus food from the Felix Project, and devising cooking sessions to teach people how to cook nutritious meals.
We are improving our outdoor space and will be building an urban courtyard allotment with help from our partners, teaching people how to grow at home and giving others the opportunity spend time in the open air.
We are hosting health and wellbeing information sessions for the local community in our meeting room and community activity space, in partnership with Public Health Islington and the NHS.
