Mon 18 July 6.30pm Haringey Civic Centre, High Road, Wood Green N22

On Monday 18th July Refugees Welcome Haringey will be speaking at a full council meeting, and asking the Council to pass a motion committing to accept 4 Syrian refugee families by Christmas 2016.

Come along from 6.30pm to show your support outside the Civic Centre and help them make the right decision!

The Lib Dems are also putting in a motion asking the council to commit to protecting EU migrants in the borough - so this also is a chance to show your support for EU Migrants and counter some of the fear and uncertainty that migrants and refugees are facing at the moment.

Bring your children and discover some of the wee beasties which live in the Park. You might be surprised by what they find. There will be nets, pots and magnifying lenses to borrow, and Rebecca will be on hand to help identify what you find.

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult; if it is wet we will have to re-schedule for later in the summer. To book places, email allyparkn10@gmail.com giving numbers of adults and children, and we will let you know the meeting place.

It's free!

Dear All,

Tomorrow at 1pm, Great Northern will be making a video about our project. They are very excited about what's going on.

Would you like to be in it? Also at 2pm I am meeting with the Chief Executive of Alexandra Palace, at the station. It would be wonderful for her to see how many people have been involved in transforming the station and the community. 

Can you be there? You need only bring yourself and your story, 1pm at the station. Stay for as long as you like - ideally 1-3pm, but any amount of time is fine. Let us know by commenting here, and/or emailing friendsofallypallystation@gmail.com

Best wishes,

Michael
