Matina Grebener talks to Claire Floyd, the Director of Women and Health in Camden. Women and Health offers a wide variety of affordable health services including counselling. The counselling is extremely popular and people often want to continue after the six week cognitive behaviour therapy sessions offered. There is a sliding scale of charges for women. At the weekends, the centre offers services for men and women, although these cost more than the weekday services.

Matina Grebener interviews Olvia Fellas of Islington Coucil about IRIS, the Islington Refugee Integration Service, who tells her about a book produced as part of this year’s celebration for refugee week, ‘Different Pasts Shared Futures’. In the book, which is called, ‘New Neighbours’, refugee children tell their stories to other children, who in turn learn a little about where their new neighbours have come from and what they may have experienced en route to London.
