Grenfell News

This week (12 – 18 May) is Mental Health Awareness week and this year’s theme is “community” and how it supports our mental health and wellbeing. Communities connect, support and give us a sense of belonging and purpose. From local to global, online to in-person, we all need community.

The Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service phone lines will be open from 9am to 5pm from Saturday 3 May to Monday 5th May.

If you or someone you know is struggling and need someone to talk to over the long Easter bank holiday weekend, we’re here to help.

For our Grenfell impacted community we have seen an increase in media coverage which may have brought up difficult feelings and memories and/or have had a triggering impact. This can be difficult and may affect you, your family or friends.

The Community Check-In is about creating a confidential, compassionate space for community members to come together. We ‘check in’ with ourselves and each other, finding support with moving through this particular stage of the post-Grenfell fire journey. Community injury calls for community healing.
