Manor Gardens is a multicultural health and social care charity based in the heart of the community in North Islington, London. We: * work with the most deprived and vulnerable people in Islington to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. * rehabilitate people who've had a stroke in our stroke club * match volunteers to isolated older people in our Friendship Network * support newly arrived communities to access health care * run a Preschool. * train local residents to cook and eat healthy meals and adopt healthier lifestyles. * train volunteers as Mental Wellbeing Champions to open up a dialogue around mental wellbeing and break down taboos. At Manor Gardens we have over 250 volunteers at any one time throughout the year, helping us be the beacon of community co-operation, working in the community to find mutual solutions to health and wellbeing challenges. We've made a difference to 7,371 beneficiaries last year and over 2,000 people a week come through the doors of the centre.
