Happy New Year in Highgate!

‘We’ve had an amazing year ‘Home in Highgate in 2024, and next week we’ll be finalising plans for 2025!  Join us at Stanhope Wellbeing Hub 1:45 Thursday 23rd January.

It’s amazing to think what we’ve achieved together since we started back in June 2024 – check out some of our blogposts to catch up:

We met at Stanhope 19th December to celebrate some of our achievements and also to work out what we wanted to do next, talking to residents – it also gave us a fabulous opportunity to showcase  Friction art club’s work exploring nature and archives at Botanical Gardens – we’re in discussion to work out the return of artclub to The Edge and Highgate soon.

Home in Highgate partnership will continue in 2025, committed to working with local businesses and residents – Check out our new facebook page where you can catch up  on our activities and how to get involved.

We’ll be looking to continue after-school activities in Highgate Schools, support our growing women’s group, build on our activities with young people and campaigning for climate Justice, expand our activities with young people in holidays, and plan outdoor activities in our local Parks.  We are also looking to improve inclusivity to all our activities and make welcome everyone in Highgate – recent suggestions we’ll be looking at will be Young LGBTQIA opportunities, Shed Club at Highgate, a Rolla Disco, Heritage Trail, and even a new Library in Highgate!

Look out for more and keep sending us your ideas on our facebook page or to the Friction Team who are helping managing ‘Home in Highgate’ with local partners – marcus@Frictionarts.com manon@frictionarts.com.
