Coming up in September

Our next meeting on 16th September:

Lamorna Hooker will talk to us about the work of 

St Mungo’s – the charity that works on recovery 

from homelessness so that everyone has a place to 

call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.

St Mungo’s aim to end homelessness and rebuild lives. They have been coordinating responses with the local authorities to get people into safe places and protect them from the pandemic. They recognise the importance of mental health and well-being and of the companionship of pets and welcome dogs.

We are also hoping that Jakki, one of our members, may be able to join us to share some of her vast professional experience of working with women in housing.

Lamorna works in Bristol so this meeting will be online, starting at 7.30pm. The Zoom link will be sent out earlier that day to our list of East End WI members and friends.

If you don’t think you are already on the list and would like to be included, please email us.

Another coffee anyone?

We had a lively opening meeting in person at Café Crème, 566 Roman Road, Bow, E3 5ES, last month so we suggest sticking with this venue for our next coffee morning this Friday 10th September at 10.30am.

From the last meeting someone commented on how ‘reasonable’ the prices were with an extensive menu offering lots of choice for all palates. It is also accessible by foot, bicycle and other forms of transport and within walking distance of the Community Garden - if anyone cares to make an excursion afterwards!
