Things are slowly beginning to open up, and we'd like to take the opportunity to invite you to a Carers Pathway Forum on Tuesday 4th August at 2pm.
The Pathway meeting is a forum to discuss ideas and thoughts about what's working and what's difficult for carers in Islington & how this has been during covid.
It's going to be online, so it will be easy to attend at the click of a link! We can talk you through how, if that helps!
Need a change of surroundings? Given that "I Love Parks" week is coming up, why not venture to your local green space! Islington Parks are a valuable resource, and great for a stroll, a socially distanced meet up or to just sit and watch what's going on. Islington Council's website lists all 10 of Islington's parks including their facilities and their accessibility.
There's also a new website and app called Footways. You can use it to plan a walk around some of the quiet and interesting streets in central London. The possibilities are endless!
How do we learn to "look at" and understand a painting? Join us for a series of exclusive "Painting appreciation sessions" led by our knowledgable volunteer host. These sessions so far have been enormously popular, really inspiring and informative.

4) Take part in a discussion about Adult social care
You are invited to join an online discussion on Monday 27th July, 2 - 3pm, to explore a new way of working for Islington Adult Social Care and beyond through the Fairer Together Partnership.
