Plaistow South Big Local celebrates women’s day

Plaistow South Big Local (PSBL), one of Newham’s leading community networks, is organising a special story-telling event on 8 March – International Women’s Day.

Everyone is invited to come and hear stories and share their feelings on a day that celebrates the work of women and the struggle for equal rights which is still taking place around the world.

The event will be held at the Memorial Community Church in the Parker room at 395 Barking Road, E13.

Later in the month on March 20 there will be another PSBL tea party and get to know you event at the Swift Centre next door to the Memorial Community Church, from 11.30 to 1-30.

Plaistow South Big Local has also been highlighting two community initiatives – the work of New City Primary School which has opened a food bank and uniform store to help families struggling financially in the cost of living crisis and the opening of new equipment at Greenway Orchard.

The special education needs equipment was received thanks to funding from Plaistow Community Assembly.

The equipment is situated by the gate at Boundary Road and adds to the attraction of the Greenway Orchard where volunteers meet on a Thursday between 11-2. Contact them at Greenwayorchardgg@gmail.com
