Mitkadem
Mitkadem allotment in Redbridge: DWP volunteers help in the gardening effort
Mitkadem means ‘to go forward’. At our Centre for Wellbeing in Redbridge we provide support to members of the local Jewish community with mental and emotional difficulties.
We focus on personal development, lifestyle coaching, social networking and healthy living to help people cope with their ups and downs and help them achieve a healthier and happier lifestyle.
What's on offer?
Our 40 plus members, aged anywhere between 18 to 73, visit us regularly because we provide:
-
One-to-one support, including advice and mentoring
-
Work placements
-
Social events, such as our annual Shabbat meal (with 52 guests last year!), upcoming garden fête
- Regular activities, such as our Breakfast Club and Friday Café, where members prepare and serve fresh and healthy breakfasts to members and visitors and Wednesday cookery sessions, preparing meals with vegetables from the allotment. This is part of our Healthy Living Programme; healthy body, healthy mind!
- Members also contribute to the Physical Social and Health Education programme in the local community, helping shape and inform people’s understanding of mental health.
