Helping Hands Programme
We have been commissioned by Young Westminster Foundation, to support with the delivery of the Helping Hands Programme, based in North Paddington.
​
The Helping Hands Programme centres around creating interventions that are led by the voices of young people and community members who have been directly and indirectly impacted by youth violence.
​
In our second year of running the programme we have been able to work with local grass roots organisations, local youth provisions and community members to identify the impact and the needs of the community. In our first year of the programme we worked with the community based in Westbourne, Harrow Road and Queen’s Park Ward. In our second year we expanded out to Church Street Ward.
​
The Helping Hands Community Fund is a community-led grants initiative that awards funding to organisations and individuals working in partnership with local organisations to deliver projects working directly with community members and/or young people. The focus of the fund is on opportunities that offer prevention and intervention for youth violence in the community.
Our Founder Deujean Bernard, is now the Chair of the North Paddington, Community Fund Chair, who oversees the development and delivery of the North Paddington Programme.
SEEN Driving Healthy Futures Roadshow
We were commissioned by the Barnardo's SEEN Centre in partnership with Enterprise Car Rental, delivering food demonstrations and practical tips on how to incorporate more cultural foods into everyday meals.
Over the past year we have been travelling across the UK speaking with children, young people, families and community barriers about their views on food inequity and possible solutions.
The Driving Healthy Futures Roadshow, is focused on bringing together communities across the country to bring accessible cultural recipes and food to a wider reach.
We produced a recipe book alongside the team, taking inspiration from our Caribbean heritage. To find out more about this project have a look on our instagram as we documented the journey. For a copy of our recipe book, get in contact.
