BBC London at the Green Skills Hub in Holloway Park 

Yesterday, the Green Skills Hub in Holloway Park glammed up for the BBC London crew.

The filming crew came to meet the Islington cohort of the🧵Make and Mend✂️programme.

The skills programme, run by #peabodycommunityfoundation‘s long-time partner Kundakala, provides sewing and tailoring skills and enterprise support to ethnic minority women with a view of boosting their confidence, reduce social isolation and supporting them to be more financially resilient.

The programme, which counts 10 Islington women, including 3 Peabody residents, was funded by the #communityinvestment and #economicinclusion teams and is hosted at the Green Skills Hub on our Islington development site, Holloway Park.

What is the Green Skills Hub? The Hub is a temporary on-site skills hub/classroom where Peabody, London Square and Islington Council are teaming up to provide employment, skills and enterprise support for those living and working in Islington, with a focus on developing and encouraging green careers. Since March 2024, we supported 100+ local residents with employability and career information sessions and 150+ accredited and non-accredited qualifications were delivered.

We’re looking forward to see the final cut on BBC London and BBC London radio channels!
