Good news on the FAITH centre so far…

Straight back to Haringey after the school trip as Richard Wilson (Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Health on Haringey Council) and I have asked for a meeting with key officers to discuss the future of the FAITH centre.

Since Richard and I went there to start the campaign with local people and residents – and called for Haringey Council to at least provide interim funding until new longer term arrangements could be found – the Council on Friday responded positively and came out with £125,000 which will fund the centre until March.

George Meehan (Council Leader) seemed to be willing to look at where funding partners might be found – and the Council staff seemed keen. There isn’t much time – but this is a vital battle to win. Those 50 vulnerable adults who find some life and training at the FAITH centre in a world which doesn’t really accommodate them by right are relying on us to make sure that the scheme can remain open. That’s the challenge. And so – saved from the brink of disaster – but nowhere near home yet!
