Stella Creasy, a good friend and former local Councillor for neighbouring Lea Bridge ward, is organising a special event for children from Walthamstow and their families, this coming Bank Holiday Monday, between 2pm and 5pm, at the Harmony Hall, Truro Rd, E17.
The event entitled ‘Our Children, Our Future’ has been organised in conjunction with Unison and the West Walthamstow Labour party, to look at how local residents can better support the achievements of Walthamstow’s chidlren.
Monday’s event will be addressed by Government Minister for Family Justice Harriet Harman MP; Walthamstow’s fab MP Neil Gerrard; and Kate Green from the Child Poverty Action Group.
