Creativity
Feeling Good delivers creative workshops across the borough. During Autumn 2021, we ran sessions in Tai Chi, African Singing, Caribbean Fitness, Immersive Storytelling and Floristry. More to come soon!
Poetry by the People
Through a series of workshops with professional poets, Feeling Good participants got the chance to write and perform their own work during Poetry by the People. Take a look at what they got up to.
– Volunteer
Feeling Good has grown to become a thriving community of its own, with over 100 older adults tailor-matched with volunteer companions. This has resulted in over 1,500 phone calls, 564 walks and 204 home visits.
Help us make your community feel good
We need volunteers to befriend isolated older adults and engage in phone calls, walks, coffees and creative workshops. Jacksons Lane provides full training to support you and an exciting programme of free Feeling Good activities.

Feeling Good is filling a very important gap in Haringey in terms of community provision. I’ve had brilliant feedback from everybody I’ve referred to Jacksons Lane about their matches. They are providing hope and connection in what has been such a difficult period, with very few options for our service users. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”
