Martin O'Donnell from Peabody Kings Cross dropped me a line with a copy of the Barnsbury News produced by the Barnsbury Community Group. You can Download the whole thing as a pdf here: Download Barnesbury newsletter 2(2)
It's a mine of useful information – I liked the sound of Caledonian Connect:
Caledonian Connect is a fantastic new advice and guidance service based at Hugh Cubitt House every weekday.
The team has started door knocking in the local area and has so far spoken to 233 people and helped 55 people with issues ranging from welfare benefit problems, employment and training, help with receiving grants for household items, support for health issues has been given as well as supporting families with children etc. One grateful resident was Aymona Bibi who said that Connect was "a great service that helped me with my problem". So why not come and visit the team at the Hugh Cubitt Centre or give them a call on 020 7833 2536.
