🇮🇷 A Taste of Iran for Our MHWBS Members from Plateful Cafe 🇮🇷

A huge thank you to Plateful for providing a wonderful Iranian lunch for our Mental Health & Wellbeing Service members.

From the delicious food and traditional tea to the beautiful desserts, our members enjoyed a rich cultural experience filled with flavour, colour and warm hospitality.
As one of our team members shared:

“If you look deeply into this cup of Iranian tea, you’ll see a world of spices, music and good fortune.”

Thank you to everyone at Plateful for sharing not only incredible food, but also a glimpse into another culture through its tastes and traditions. We loved every moment!

Thank you to the Neighbourhood Theatre at the Young Vic for the complimentary tickets for a group of our Positive Ageing members to see CARE this evening.

It was especially lovely to see one of our members, Richard, in a small role in the production.

The play was powerful, poignant and thought-provoking, and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

Thank you for making this special evening possible. 💛

Community doesn’t happen by accident.

Every day at Blackfriars Settlement, people come through our doors looking for connection, support, purpose, friendship, or simply someone to talk to.

Through our Positive Ageing services, wellbeing programmes, community lunches, creative activities, and mental health support, we help reduce isolation and create opportunities for people to thrive.

But this work isn’t done alone.

Corporate partners play a huge role in helping us make this impact. Whether it’s volunteering at a lunch club, sharing professional skills, sponsoring activities, supporting events, or simply opening doors to new opportunities, every contribution helps strengthen the community around us.

The strongest communities are built when charities, businesses, and local people work together.

We’ve put together a new Corporate Volunteering & Partnerships Pack to share more about our work, the impact it has, and the many ways organisations can support their local community.

Take a look through to learn more.

🍽️ Kitchen Takeover with Redis at Blackfriars Settlement!

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the Redis team for a kitchen takeover and volunteering day.

Corporate volunteering helps strengthen community connections, supports local organisations, and enables us to continue providing activities and services that improve wellbeing and reduce social isolation across our community.

A huge thank you to the Redis team for giving their time, energy, and support. It was wonderful to have you with us!

Wednesday art session today at Blackfriars Settlement 🎨

Art sessions are a great way to encourage creativity, confidence, conversation, and relaxation. Creative activities can support mental wellbeing, reduce stress, improve concentration and memory, and give people a chance to express themselves in a fun and social environment. Most importantly, they bring people together and create moments of joy and connection within the community 💛

Happy Birthday to two of our amazing team members, Jason and Kwami! 🎉🎂

Thank you both for everything you do for the Blackfriars Settlement community. Your kindness, hard work and positivity never go unnoticed, and we’re so lucky to have you both as part of the team.

We hope you both have a fantastic day celebrating — you deserve it! 💙

A rare morning last week where our team, who spend their days caring for others, were the ones being cared for.

The wonderful team at Roast in Borough Market hosted an early breakfast for the Blackfriars Settlement team and treated us to the most incredible hospitality.

The food was amazing, the welcome was warm and generous, and the whole morning gave our staff a chance to pause, connect and feel appreciated.

Huge thank you to the Roast team for reminding us what it feels like to be looked after with such kindness. Moments like this really do matter.

Mental Health and Well-being Week hit a high note — literally 🎶

Our Blackfriars Settlement Nightingales Choir enjoyed a special singalong session with the wonderful team at George P. Johnson UK, who filled the space with tea, cakes and so much warmth. This was just our little warm up before the room quickly filled with people, laughter and genuine connection.

Staff were singing their hearts out, pouring tea, taking time to chat and creating such a welcoming atmosphere. There was kindness everywhere and that unmistakable feeling of community coming together.

A huge thank you to Michael and our incredible Nightingales Choir — you truly set the tone and everyone followed.

It was a beautiful reminder that community is powerful, creativity heals and sometimes the most meaningful moments happen outside of the important meetings.

One GPJ team member shared just how uplifting the afternoon had been, and that says everything. This was about everyone’s wellbeing, and it was something really special to witness. The Nightingales left absolutely buzzing.

Thank you Hannah and the amazing team at George P. Johnson UK for being such brilliant supporters and partners 💛

We are very grateful to the London School of Science & Technology (LSST) for hosting Blackfriars Settlement at the LSST Elephant and Castle campus this week.

It was a pleasure to have our team speaking with Health and Wellbeing students about the importance of community support, positive ageing and the impact volunteering can have within the local community.

The session invited students to consider Befriending with Blackfriars — helping tackle loneliness and social isolation while gaining valuable real-world experience supporting older people within the community.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and engaged so positively with the session. We look forward to building more community connections together 🤝
