Mary’s, Primrose Hill
11.08.22
I am a long-standing member of the local community and have been involved
in a voluntary capacity with various organizations that provide assistance or
advice in the area. These include the Elsworthy Residents Association, Citizens Advice Bureau, Family Practitioner Council, Regents Park/Primrose Hill
Safer Parks’ Committee. My own children were members of the youth club as
it was then at St Mary’s and it provided valuable experiences for them. The
present Mary’s has evolved into something very different and I have supported
Jason Allen and his team from the outset. Together they provide a unique
place of security and support for some young people who struggle to find a
comfortable, safe environment. They do this despite antiquated, constrained
surroundings and I will do all that I can to ensure this is remedied by upgrading
the premises.
