About TCF's support of the Tottenham Thinking Space and what your sponsorship will go towards

The Tottenham Thinking Space is an innovative outreach project that is piloting community therapy as an approach to improving mental health in the London borough of Tottenham.

In addition to providing the initial sponsorship for the first Tottenham Thinking Space, the Tavistock Clinic Foundation remains involved in providing additional support to the project to ensure that it is as effective and reaches out to as many people as possible in the community.

The Tottenham Thinking Space is a friendly gathering for anyone living in Tottenham, and the project aims to empower individuals and communities to build resilience and improve well-being in some of the poorest parts of the borough.

It does this by providing facilitated spaces in various part of the borough for people to discuss the issues they face in their lives and to consider what they can do together to address their problems. Out of this process, ideas for action are identified and implemented and reviewed as part of ongoing process of reflection, action and individual and community development.

The Tottenham Thinking Space works together with the community to make Tottenham a better place to live.

What will your sponsorship go towards?

• Funding for a crèche worker and toys for the children who attend with their mothers at the Tea and Coffee mornings.
• Funding to train a group of volunteers to become facilitators to ensure long-term sustainability of the project.

About the Tavistock Clinic Foundation

Importantly, we are raising money for the The Tavistock Clinic Foundation who focus on funding studies that increase our understanding of the impact of relationships on human development and those that show the benefits of psychological therapy. It also continues to support innovative approaches to improving mental health and preventing ill-health. Essentially, TCF promotes access to psychological therapies to those that most need it.

We would very much appreciate all the support we can get on the day, so if you're free on Saturday 2nd August (our start time is yet to be announced) - pop on down! If the sun is shining, it'll be a blast. If it's raining, we'll still have a blast.
