January can often be quite a trying month for some of us with the long dark nights, worries and increased anxiety over money, health, careers and home life. But our residents were given the opportunity to ‘fix’ some of those issues with an event held in Islington recently.

Behind the closed doors of St. Marys Church on Upper Street was a hive of activity, as we held our first Bring and Fix event, where over 130 residents took take part in workshops, trawled through stalls and spoke to experts on financial and career advice, DIY workshops, energy efficiency, free health checks, as well as learn how to revamp their old clothes. 

Residents also enjoyed some down time and relaxation with free massages, Qigong exercises and even some free pizza from Papa John’s over the road! And of course they didn’t leave empty handed as every attendee left with a Family Mosaic piggy bank; a little gesture to kick start the savings when they get home.
