News in Brief: Woolwich Community Hub & Cardwell Primary Garden Project

April 18, 2013 By John Fahy

Woolwich Community Hub

I am supporting the important development of a Community Hub in Woolwich. The Partnership includes the Charlton Trust, Greenwich Cooperative Development Agency, London & Quadrant Housing and Mulgrave Primary School. Other partners will be joining the partnership shortly.

Developing such a project in the most deprived area of the Borough will help to improve access to Public Health, NHS Services and training and employment opportunities . In addition there will be a community cafe helping to drive down food poverty and obesity. The building will also see an extension of the Mulgrave Children’s Centre helping to reduce the demand on current places and reduce waiting lists.

A feasibility study is underway,funding opportunities are being investigated. The Council is being asked to lease the building. The Hub concept operates across a number of London Councils and evidence suggest that such facilities helps to improve the quality of life for local residents of all ages.

Cardwell Primary Garden Project

Support is required to realise the dream of pupils to grow their own vegetables. Some work in uprooting trees and removing spoil is among the chores outstanding before planting begins. Offers of help please contact the school: asullivan@cardwellgreenwich.sch.uk
