Welcome back to another episode of Our House, a podcast brought to you by award winning social landlord, EastendHomes.
This week in the UK marks mental health awareness week and this year's theme is loneliness. We thought it was apt to return to a lovely episode from our first series where an amazing member of the EastendHomes team is helping to combat loneliness in her local community.
Helen chats to housing officer, Judith Riley. Judith is a woman of many talents - balancing her role at EastendHomes with two (yes two!) other projects. She talks about Here's a Hug, a project she set up in 2020 to knit scarves and hats for homeless people around East London. She also tells us all about her love for baking, which she shares with others through her patisserie company - Love Me Take Me Home.
If you'd like to volunteer or donate to Here's a Hug, you can email them at heresahug2020@gmail.com or connect with them on their Facebook page.
