A significant step forward for Harrow residents, as a motion supporting those facing 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 was passed 𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐘 by Harrow Council. ✅

At one of the most vulnerable times in a family's life, household income can fall while the costs of heating, care, transport and other essentials increase.

🏛️ 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒

Harrow currently offers discretionary financial assistance, but there is 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

🔹 How many Harrow households could benefit from additional support.

🔹 Whether clearer and more consistent Council Tax reductions could be introduced.

🔹 How applications could be 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝, 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭-𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝.

🔹 The financial implications and lessons from other councils.

💬 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘, 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍.

The motion does not commit the Council to an uncosted scheme. Instead, it seeks the evidence needed to determine 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Councillors from across the chamber came together to support this important motion, demonstrating a shared commitment to examining how vulnerable residents and their families can be better supported.

🎗️ HARROW COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY BACKS MOTION TO REVIEW SUPPORT FOR TERMINALLY ILL RESIDENTS! 👏

A significant step forward for Harrow residents, as a motion supporting those facing terminal illness and financial hardship was passed UNANIMOUSLY by Harrow Council. ✅

❤️ A terminal diagnosis should not mean facing financial hardship alone.

At one of the most vulnerable times in a family's life, household income can fall while the costs of heating, care, transport and other essentials increase.

🏛️ WHY THIS MOTION MATTERS

Harrow currently offers discretionary financial assistance, but there is no specific Council Tax support scheme for residents facing terminal illness.

The motion, moved by Councillor Yusuf Yusuf and seconded by Councillor David Perry, calls for a comprehensive review to examine:

🔹 How many Harrow households could benefit from additional support.

🔹 Whether clearer and more consistent Council Tax reductions could be introduced.

🔹 How applications could be simplified, made more transparent and fast-tracked.

🔹 The financial implications and lessons from other councils.

💬 THIS IS ABOUT DIGNITY, CLARITY AND COMPASSION.

The motion does not commit the Council to an uncosted scheme. Instead, it seeks the evidence needed to determine whether Harrow can provide better support for residents facing terminal illness.

🤝 A UNANIMOUS, CROSS-PARTY ACHIEVEMENT

Councillors from across the chamber came together to support this important motion, demonstrating a shared commitment to examining how vulnerable residents and their families can be better supported.

🙏 Special thanks go to the local resident who first raised this issue, to Marie Curie for highlighting poverty at the end of life, and to all councillors who supported the motion.

❤️ People facing terminal illness deserve dignity, clarity and compassion from the services that support them.

📌 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

The next step is to ensure the agreed review is taken forward, with findings and financial options reported through the Council's decision-making process.

This unanimous decision marks an important first step towards examining how Harrow can better support residents and families when they need it most.

🌹 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 🇬🇧

On Sunday 20 September, we were honoured to attend Harrow’s annual 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 service of thanksgiving and rededication at St John’s Church in Stanmore.

This year marks the 𝟴𝟲𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 of the Battle of Britain.

More than eight decades on, it remains as important as ever to remember the 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 of those who defended our country, and all those whose lives were changed by war.

👏 It was particularly encouraging to see the contribution of the 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘀, who provided a guard of honour and played an important part in the commemorations.

Their presence was a powerful reminder that remembrance is not only about looking back. It is also about ensuring that the history, sacrifice and lessons of the past are understood by the generations that follow.

📍 Stanmore has a special connection to this history, with Bentley Priory having served as the headquarters of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain.

We were proud to join councillors, community representatives and residents in coming together to remember.

🕌 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗠𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

On Saturday 19 September, we were delighted to attend the 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗠𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲 open day at the Sri Lankan Muslim Cultural Centre (Masjid-un-Noor) in Wealdstone.

🤝 The event was part of a nationwide weekend in which mosques opened their doors and welcomed neighbours of all faiths and none.

It was a valuable opportunity to meet members of the congregation, learn more about the mosque and enjoy conversation and hospitality together.

Events like Visit My Mosque are important because they create opportunities for people to 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁, 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 from one another. They help build greater understanding between people from different backgrounds and strengthen the connections that bring our community together.

📍 The Sri Lankan Muslim Cultural Centre has been part of the community for more than two decades, with Masjid-un-Noor operating from Whitefriars Avenue since 2002 as a religious, cultural and educational hub.

A big 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 to everyone at the Sri Lankan Muslim Cultural Centre for the warm welcome and hospitality. 🙏

❤️ Strong communities are built through understanding, respect and neighbours coming together.

For 𝟯𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, HACAS has been bringing people together, supporting generations of residents and helping to keep African-Caribbean culture and heritage alive in Harrow.

Founded in 1991, the organisation has created something that cannot be built overnight: 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Its motto is 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 and for more than three decades HACAS has been putting those words into practice.

❤️ One of the best examples is the long-running 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, which brings people together every week at Wealdstone Methodist Church on Locket Road.

Every Friday, members can enjoy a Caribbean lunch, conversation and friendship alongside activities including keep fit, crafts, games, discussions and guest speakers. The club also organises outings and cultural events.

But HACAS is not only looking after older generations.

💃 Through its 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹, HACAS has provided activities for children and young people, while its mentoring work has focused on building confidence and raising aspirations among young people.

It has also worked to preserve an important part of Harrow’s history through its 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 – 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝘅-𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁, recording the experiences of Caribbean nurses who came to the UK during the 1960s and 1970s.

🌟 Another brilliant example of Wealdstone, congratulations Jasmine Bryan! 🌟

We are delighted to celebrate Wealdstone’s own Jasmine Bryan, who has been named a finalist for the Outstanding Young Person Award at Harrow’s Heroes 2026.

Jasmine is another brilliant example of the young people from Wealdstone who are stepping forward, taking initiative and making a positive contribution to our wider Harrow community.

What makes her achievement particularly impressive is that she hasn’t waited until finishing her studies to start making a difference. Alongside studying full-time for a Politics degree, Jasmine is already putting her commitment to social justice into practice.

Jasmine founded the Backpack & Shelter Project with a simple but important belief: no child should start school without the essentials, and no one should have to face hardship alone.

The project supports disadvantaged children, vulnerable families and people experiencing homelessness by providing school supplies and other essential items, while raising awareness of the challenges people face.

Jasmine saw a need and, rather than waiting for someone else to respond, she decided to act.

Turning an idea into practical action, organising support and reaching people who can too often be overlooked takes initiative, compassion and commitment.

That’s leadership, and it deserves to be celebrated.

Her example also sends an important message to other young people across Wealdstone and Harrow: you don’t have to wait until you have years of experience or a professional platform before contributing to your community.

As the Backpack & Shelter Project puts it, this is about more than donations. It is about building “a community that believes everyone deserves dignity, opportunity, and hope.”

👏 Congratulations, Jasmine, on becoming a finalist for the Outstanding Young Person Award at Harrow’s Heroes 2026.

We are proud to see another young person from Wealdstone being recognised for making a difference, and we wish Jasmine every success.
