We are really pleased to be launching in support of two local charities Enfield Womens’ Centre & Enfield Saheli
ALL profits from the sale of our #LoveIsKind t-shirts will go towards the incredible work they do locally to educate, support, and take care of families suffering from domestic abuse.
This is a major issue across our borough so please stand with us by buying a t-shirt here https://www.loveiskind.co.uk/
Once you have your t-shirt please send in a photo and post to social media using #LoveisKind
Follow us on Instagram @loveiskind_Lyds
This has been a huge local effort. Huge thank you to Katrina Campbell Photographs for photographing, Denise Brady Design for designing, and Pinkfrogz who will be printing your t-shirts.”

Healthy Start

Healthy Start is an NHS scheme in England and Wales which provides supermarket vouchers to low-income families with children under four, to help them buy healthy basics like fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula.

But despite the value of Healthy Start vouchers being boosted as a result of Marcus Rashford’s #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY campaign, the take-up of the vouchers by those eligible is dropping across England.

Despite food poverty increasing across the country, nearly half of those eligible for the vouchers aren’t receiving them – which means each week over £1 million worth of free food isn’t reaching the children who need it most.

In Enfield 47% of these vouchers are unclaimed.
This means £11,717.25 worth of food is not reaching those in the borough who need it.​

More information from www.healthystart.nhs.uk 
Either apply online via link above or call the Healthy Start helpline on 0345 607 6823 and ask them to send an application form to you by post.    You can also ask a Midwife or Health Visitor  for an application form.

 

Spring Raffle 2021

Poster for EWC Spring Raffle 2021We are trying to raise funds to cover the extra costs of Clinical Supervision for our counselling service. This need has grown in the last year with more and more women needing support for a range of reasons from the effects of the lock-down such as isolation, loneliness, etc. through to the rise in violence. Clinical Supervision is a requirement for all counselling services; we have a team of 10 counsellors we need to ensure receive adequate supervision to enable them to provide a good service to our clients.
