HARROW CARE PLUS is a grassroot project that supports vulnerable families. They were awarded a Harrow Heroes Award in 2018.
“We are not funded or have paid staff. We do this because we are passionate about making a difference to the community. In 2018 we launched a pledge for St. Luke’s Hospice. This was to support their work by delivering flowers, running community activities around Brent and Harrow. We do not refuse to help anyone who needs practical support.’’
