In response to the news that Residents of Edmonton Angel Community Together (REACT) have received £200,000 from the Mayor of London’s High Streets for All Challenge, to deliver a cultural programme out of the Living Room Library on Fore Street, local London Assembly Member, Joanne McCartney AM, said:
“Our local high streets have been hit hard by the pandemic so far, and social enterprise projects like the one being delivered by REACT are key to breathing new life into them.
“This new cultural enterprise programme being funded by the Mayor, will not only place the revamped Fore Street library back at the centre of the community, but help to equip local young people with the skills they need to succeed with mentoring and training opportunities”.
