At Home Instead Chingford, we’re passionate about helping older adults stay socially connected and involved in their communities. This summer, there are some fantastic one-off events happening across Chingford, Crouch End, and nearby areas that offer a welcoming space for older adults to enjoy music, art, conversation, and a bit of local history.
