About us

Haringey is fantastic – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, vibrancy, personality, radicalism, diversity and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. Haringey is the London Borough of Culture for 2027 and we are planning a year of culture to celebrate our ‘Rebel Borough’. For centuries people have come from all over the world and made their home here. They have been welcomed by our communities and in turn have enriched daily life in the borough. Our streets buzz with culture, from food markets to street art, roller discos to Nigerian tapas. Culture and community is in our DNA. Our working-class history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality and doing things our own way. We speak 180 languages and are home to many communities. Our incredible and renowned food culture is on show from Green Lanes to West Green Road. Haringey is a special place. We have great schools, wonderful libraries, green flag parks; and thriving shopping centres and high streets. We are proud to be home to the renowned Alexandra Palace; historic Bruce Castle Museum; beautiful Finsbury Park; and the world-class Tottenham Stadium. As well as to ground-breaking artists, entrepreneurs, activists, educators; and thousands of dedicated and committed key workers. As a council we strongly believe in what we do. We work in partnership with our residents. We recognise they are experts in their own lives, communities and our borough. We draw on their experience and insights. Their priorities are our priorities. We put our values at the heart of everything we do. We fight for what is right and challenge injustice. We work for the common good and aim to unite not divide. We are competent, collaborative and radical. We are building a fairer and greener Haringey.

    The Mayor of Haringey Councillor Susan Jameson has pinned on her poppy in support of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal and urged other residents to do the same. The Poppy Appeal runs until Remembrance Day and money raised goes towards the Royal British Legion’s welfare and benevolent work in support of serving and ex-service people and their families. Poppies and donation boxes can be found in Haringey’s libraries, and on the reception desk of Alexandra House and George Meehan House.

    Huge thanks to Black Thrive Haringey for an impactful evening exploring mental health and racial equality in the UK at the Mental Health Journeys film screening and conversation at Broadwater Farm last week. We had the privilege of viewing two powerful short films: “Me, My Father and My Mental Health” by Courtney Brown, Founder and CEO of Father 2 Father, and “Me, My Music and My Mental Health” by musician and mental health advocate Shocka Proton. Following the screenings, Courtney, Shocka, and the film’s producer Antony C Forde held a meaningful audience discussion focusing on men's mental health. This discussion was part of a larger conversation introduced by Jordelle Akinola, from North London Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, and hosted by Lynette Charles, CEO of Mind in Haringey, about improving services for individuals from diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds through the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF). With over 50 attendees from across Haringey and London, the evening encouraged open conversations on mental health, race inequalities and the importance of organisations working with communities to make the right improvements. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

    🌍 Yesterday, 24 October, residents and community groups came together to launch Year 4 of the Haringey Community Carbon Fund! Councillor Mike Hakata, Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment, and Transport, and our Climate Change team provided an overview of the fund, which supports projects aimed at reducing energy consumption, waste and associated carbon emissions across Haringey. The event included opportunities for attendees to share project ideas, reflect on past funded projects, and participate in co-design workshops to develop new initiatives. There was also a session dedicated to shaping the future of the fund to ensure it continues to meet the community’s needs. Part of the council’s Climate Change Action Plan, the Haringey Community Carbon Fund offers grants that empower residents, groups, and businesses to launch impactful, carbon-cutting projects. This is funded by the carbon offset contribution secured through Section 106 agreements if developers cannot meet the net zero carbon standard for new developments. 🌱 The fund has supported 26 projects over the past three years, and this year’s round, our biggest yet, offers £112,000 to bring more community-led ideas to life. Applications open on 1 November 2024. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ezdMbW8D #CommunityCarbonFund #ClimateAction #Haringey #Sustainability #CoDesign
