Community Space Ltd have shared information on a potential opportunity for charity occupiers to take space in Hammersmith, London, comprising three floors of office / community space.

The space may be available for up to two years due to future redevelopment plans, so this could suit a charity, community organisation, social enterprise, CIC, faith-based organisation, or a collaboration between several charities who may not need or be able to justify taking the whole building individually.

The Community Partnerships & Engagement Team at Central Northwest London NHS Trust currently have spaces remaining on upcoming training sessions in May, June and July.

This training will help you to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues, support someone experiencing a mental health crisis, improve your own wellbeing. Topics covered include wellbeing, anxiety, depression, and suicide awareness and prevention.
