Birlikta Project
It is with great pleasure to announce that the RWCA has received funding from the Awards For all to support individuals in reaching their full potential by providing early-stage assistance. The programme will involve organising monthly support sessions for Turkish and Kurdish families to address two pressing community concerns: services for older people and youth involvement in crime and gangs. The community faces daily challenges related to the isolation experienced by older individuals following the Covid-19 lockdown; as well as the emotional burden of losing partners and living alone. To address these issues; the project will collaborate with Age UK; inviting them to provide valuable advice and guidance. Furthermore; we will try to actively engage with the Haringey Youth Justice Service to meet with parents and offer support in safeguarding their children against gang affiliation.
A significant learning outcome of this project will be the development of a regular initiative that specifically caters to the identified needs; thus testing our capacity for meeting these requirements while involving the community in the process.
