From there, we will cross Northfields Avenue to arrive at The Impact Hub.Talks & Awareness at The Hub:We will finish our walk at The Impact Hub, where we will gather to hear vital information about breast cancer awareness and listen to an inspiring survivor's story. You will also learn about the Hub itself, discovering the incredible organizations and activities hosted here, many of which proudly support Ealing's Black communities.
Supporting a Great Cause:
During the walk, a group member will carry a collection box for Maggie’s Charity. Founded by a breast cancer patient and her husband, Maggie’s provides essential support to anyone affected by cancer—including patients, survivors, family, and friends. Our collection will be hand-delivered to the nearest Maggie’s Centre at Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith (stay tuned—we may organize a group trip there together in November with GOSAD's support!).
