Ward Focus

TOTTENHAM GREEN

Tottenham Green Ward stretches all the way from Seven Sisters to the Retail Park in Tottenham Hale. It is home to bustling high streets, great local markets, some of Tottenham’s finest creative businesses and Tottenham Green itself. There really is something for everyone. At the centre of the Ward you will find Tottenham Green which is the civic heart of Tottenham. Home to the Grade II listed Tottenham Town Hall, Marcus Garvey Library, The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London, the Bernie Grant Arts Centre and Tottenham Green leisure centre and many others, Tottenham Green is buzzing with activity from morning to night.

Let it Shine

More than a café, Shine is a community hub that offers training and volunteering opportunities for local people and hosts a wonderful variety of groups and events. Shine welcomes everyone from the public, the homeless and those suffering from mental health, alcohol or drug issues – and staff can signpost and offer advice to those in need. We spoke to the lead Shine project officer, Kevin Farrell (above), who also runs the café.

What is Shine? What’s your personal experience been, Kevin? We are a socially inclusive coffee shop open to everyone. Ten years ago I was homeless. I was in and out of a We don’t turn anyone away. We are trying to help people to psychiatric unit and had drug and alcohol issues but reintegrate into the community without a label. We can give someone believed in me. They said, “Look, Kevin. All this advice to people and we are 100% not for profit. We offer stuff you’ve been through – turn it to your advantage. art groups, sewing groups, stop smoking sessions and jam Go out and have an impact.” So I did an apprenticeship with music sessions. The groups don’t cost anything. All we ask is St Mungo’s, the homeless charity, and here I am! If you plant that you buy something from the coffee shop. something in someone they tend to grow and the biggest thing is not labelling. If you give someone a label you’ve How was it set up? already ruined it. So everyone who comes through this door comes in with no judgement.” Shine was an alcohol treatment centre; the social enterprise element of HAGA (Haringey Advisory Group on Alcohol). How can the community get involved? As the centre was losing money, I said, “Let me make this socially inclusive and community led. It will take time but it The first step is coming through our doors! Just pop in will absolutely take off”. So we did a crowdfunder campaign and have a cuppa and see what we’re about. I’ve got eight and got some funding and reopened our doors with the volunteers on my books to help me run stuff but we are café. It’s gone bananas ever since! You let people come in always looking for more volunteers. This is the ultimate and they start feeding it. place for the community and my overall aim is to have it at least 80% community run. So you’ve got me steering the What is next for Shine? ship but they’re in charge and I would love people to become involved in the change. Let’s talk! Besides the diverse weekly groups, the next phase is that an organisation called BoB (Build on Belief) is going to come in and work alongside us to turn the office area into a training kitchen. So we can offer training opportunities for local people. We can also spend time with people to offer career advice and help them to prepare a CV.

Inspiring Women of Haringey: a Suffragette in the Family

This year is the centenary of the Representation of the People Act. Created in 1918, the Act allowed some women – those owning property and over the age of 30 – the right to vote for the first time. At the general election on 14 December 1918, 8.5 million women and 5.6 million men were enfranchised. It took another ten years until the age qualification was abolished, putting men and women on a more equal footing.

The women’s suffrage movement reached every part of the country and cut across all classes. Some of the stories about individual suffragettes and their struggle for the vote are well known to us. Other stories lay untold, forgotten or hidden. This fascinating exhibition at Bruce Castle Museum presents the wonderful stories and research about local women who campaigned for the vote more than 100 years ago. These stories, artefacts and photographs have been kindly shared with Collective Exchange and Bruce Castle Museum & Haringey Archive by relatives proud of these pioneering women in their families. The exhibition tells us more about the lives of these women - such as the Spongs of Muswell Hill - who made their voices heard in their fierce struggle to get the right to vote. The exhibition runs until the end of March 2019.
