““Before this, we were a bit out of the loop and voiceless but now we have a forum where we can talk about things and the good thing is, others are able to relate to what’s being discussed and people from organisations or even Haringey Council attend the coffee mornings and hear our voices directly and it’s important that they do or nothing will change otherwise. I am very happy with these groups and hopefully will continue to be in service as the community needs something like this, there just isn’t many of these. It’s important.’’
