Through autumn 2025, Community Apothecary continued our fruitful collaborative relationship with in Walthamstow, a space whose aim is to support under-served community members in our locality. With appreciated support from a grant from we offered a 6-week programme of participatory learning, Food is Medicine, delivered by our facilitator Elise of , with a lively group of elders who shared intercultural knowledge of healing foods and herbs, much enjoyment and learning for us all.
We plan for further synergy between our two organisations and with Higham Hill Hub’s new eco-build in progress we’re excited for new activities and workshops this will enable as we move further into 2026. This new calendar year we will be carrying on with the Community Growers project at the Hub, a weekly Tuesday gardening session with all locals welcome to join for company, horticultural learning and herby goodness. Get in touch with us if you’d like more info about these sessions
