Let's Talk in April shared information about the free and affordable Islington food network and home fire safety. 

Islington Partnership Network and Octopus provided information about how you can make savings through Islington’s helpful, friendly network of foodbanks, community shops and affordable community lunches.

London Fire Brigade provided advice on spotting home fire hazards. Fire prevention is important, especially for older or vulnerable relatives. Also details of how to check fire hazards at home and eligibility for a free Home Fire Safety Check.
