Please support us to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Islington, North London

Manor Gardens is a health and wellbeing charity based in Finsbury Park, relieving needs arising from sickness, disability and old age, promoting mental and physical good health and increasing social inclusion. We break down taboos around mental health through our Mental Health Champions, we promote physical wellbeing through showing people how to cook and eat healthy meals, we befriend older people, support refugees to access health care, support people who've had a stroke and run a Preschool.

Why the community needs us

Our local community is very diverse and based in one of the most deprived parts of London, often overlooked due to the pockets of considerable affluence close by. Large numbers of isolated older people and people with disabilities live close by and we reach them through our Friendship Network and Stroke Club. Our area is also home to people who have come to this country for refuge who need help getting healthcare. Our work breaking down taboos around mental health is vital for wellbeing.

Our impact on the community

Last year over 7,400 people benefited from our services in Islington. We worked with 300 volunteers, provided volunteer translators in 19 languages, worked with 846 stroke survivors, befriended 80 older people, raised awareness around mental health with over 2,500 people, and helped over 1,000 people learn to eat and cook more healthily. We also helped local young people understand their heritage through projects looking at women through the ages associated with Manor Gardens.
