New Neighbours is a national charity whose aim it is to bring people together from all walks of life, faiths, and cultures to build stronger communities all over Britain.
The charity’s community efforts were recognised by Her Royal Majesty the Queen in June this year, who was so impressed by their outcomes she held a reception for Near Neighbours at the Palace.
So from Buckingham Palace, the Near Neighbours programme Real People, Honest Talk has arrived in Barnet!
Over the coming months, four programmes will talk place in North Finchley, Burnt Oak, Colindale and West Hendon.
Local organisations like Love Burnt Oak and the Colindale Communities Trust will be helping to run sessions that will ensure Barnet communities become part of The Big Conversation.
