PAGE 6 NEWS FROM MOTHER TONGUE Find out about other parts of Community Living Well. In this edition we find out about the Mother Tongue Counselling service. PAGE 4-5 SOCIAL MEET UPS Some great social meet ups taking place in January, including two special museum visits. PAGE 12-20 2 JANUARY 2018 Getting Well and Staying Well As we welcome in the new year the Peer Support service will be providing more opportunities for members to give and receieve help to improve their wellbeing. During each type of peer support meet up - social, online, 1-to-1, groups, living well workshops and timebank - we will be focusing on using our time together to talk with others about the challenges of staying well and sharing our knowledge of how we can overcome these challenges. Talking about our mental health and wellbeing can help to lessen the burden and help reduce feelings of isolation. The connections made with other peers and being part of a community offering support and understanding to each other can be rewarding. The recent feedback received from the new Peer Support Groups has told us that having more supported opportunities to talk openly about mental health would be a valuable experience that will help with managing day to day problems. In January, Feel Good Friday (and in the near future, Monday Social) will include additional opportunities to receive and offer peer support. You can read more about these groups on page 8-9 and page 13 or you can contact us to let us know if you would like to find out more and attend.

  • Synopsis of Exploring London Walks
    SPELTHORNE U3AK2 “EXPLORING LONDON” WALK SYNOPSIS WALK 1 – PORTOBELLO MARKET, NOTTING HILL DISTANCE: 4 miles (with possible add on for a detour through Kensington Gardens) GETTING THERE AND BACK START: Ladbroke Grove on the Hammersmith and City Line Via Waterloo to Baker Street change to Hammersmith and City to Ladbroke Grove Or District Line from Richmond to Hammersmith and then Hammersmith and City Line to Ladbroke Grove FINISH: Notting Hill Gate or Queensway (Circle Line) to Bond Street – change to Jubilee to Waterloo ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS The major problem on this walk is a dearth of Public Toilets, and no clear stopping place for Lunch. There is certainly no shortage of places to have Coffee or snacks, so you will have to make sure that you select a cafe that has Toilets available. The walk starts from Ladbroke Grove Station, and goes the short distance to Portobello Green where you can hopefully find Coffee+Toilet facilities. Portobello Market spreads for about 1 km going from the cheaper end to the more salubrious antique market at the top of the road. It is likely to be very crowded, and it will be much easier to have free time to wander along at your own pace, and meet at place, time suggested by the leader. Continuing to the “peak” of Notting Hill we reach the church of St. John’s which has toilets and a café (sadly only open mid week). After a downhill stretch the route continues and crosses over Holland Park Avenue before a short uphill climb to reach Campden Hill, a very select and salubrious part of Kensington where there is a reasonable pub.

  • The Sash Window Workshop Advert Placed in Historical Area
    Press Release November 7th 2019 The Sash Window Workshop advert placed in historical area People travelling through Queensway tube station in London should keep an eye out for The Sash Window Workshop’s advert – an appropriate historical setting for a company known for its work with period properties. Queensway tube station opened on the 30th July 1900, when it was known as Queen’s Road, and is an unusual survivor of the buildings designed for the Central London Railway by Harry Bell Measures. Queensway station is located on the road of the same name. However, similar to the tube station, the road has also had different names over the years, previously being known as Black Lion Lane and then Queens Road. Queensway tube station is located in the City of Westminster borough in Central London. The station is often referred to as being in the Bayswater area, which is home to several roads with Victorian stucco terraces, the majority of which are now divided into flats. Several of the properties in Queensway and the Bayswater area still have traditional timber sash windows. Queensway, like much of Bayswater, also has its own conservation area, helping to protect the heritage of the area. Located on Queensway, Whiteley’s department store is a Grade II listed building, which was built by Belcher and Joass between 1908 and 1912. The building was later extended between 1925 and 1927. It was constructed from Portland stone with large bay and arched windows on the upper floors. In December 2018, Whiteley’s closed for redevelopment and refurbishment and is expected to reopen in 2022.

  • Supplementary Materials For
    Supplementary Materials for A vulnerability-based approach to human-mobility reduction for countering COVID-19 transmission in London while considering local air quality Manu Sasidharan, Ajit Singh, Mehran Eskandari Torbaghan, Ajith Kumar Parlikad Correspondence to: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] This PDF file includes: Materials and Methods Figs. S1 to S2 Tables S1 Materials and Methods The currently available data (as of 31 March 2020) on COVID-19 morbidity and mortality for different NHS Hospital Trusts in London were utilized in this study [23,18]. The Office of National Statistics (A Baker, personal communication, 2020) confirmed that they are unable to provide COVID-19 related fatality data categorized by each London borough or local authority. To this end, the deaths reported by individual NHS Hospital Trusts in London were employed to inform the reported deaths for each London borough. The fatality rate across each London borough was estimated by dividing the number of reported deaths by the number of reported positive COVID-19 cases. Due to the unavailability of data, this study does not include the number of people who are self-isolating due to COVID-19 within the analysis. The air pollution data associated with particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) for each London borough was collected from [24]. An ecologic analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between short-term air pollution (PM2.5 and NO2 levels) and COVID-19 cases and fatality rate in each London borough. To this end, a linear regression model was fitted to the data for regions with more than 100 reported cases and 10 COVID-19 related deaths.
