Seasonal Support

Information for practitioners on supporting people over both hotter and colder months.

Seasonal Support

During both hotter and colder times of year it can be challenging for people to keep healthy, active, and socially connected. When meeting with residents and having conversations about what matters to them, it is important to be aware of organisations and resources that can support during summer and winter periods.

Holborn Community Association have announced their summer term activities for adults and over 55s.

HCA offer a range care, play, movement and arts activities available across three centres; Holborn House, 1A Arts Centre and Millman Street Community Centre, are all accessible with wheelchair/lift access. 

Below outlines the summer term community activity programme which starts from the week beginning 15 April 2024
