I was delighted to attend Community Connex's activities afternoon at St Edmund's Church in Northwood Hills. For residents who may not be aware, Community Connex - formerly Harrow Mencap - is a charity supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mobility issues and additional mental health needs.
It is always a pleasure to speak with members of Community Connex to hear how the group benefits them, and to thank its volunteers. This was also a special occasion for long-serving Community Connex Manager Jeremy Child, who received a Harrow's Heroes award for 'Supporting Vulnerable People', and I was delighted to present him with the award this afternoon.
Harrow's Heroes is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of people like Jeremy and the many others whose contributions - no matter how big or small - make the borough a place we can be proud of.
