Our vision is to be using the building by 2014, 170 years after it was first opened.We are committed to raising sufficient funds to restore it to provide abuilding which will offer appropriate facilities for older members of the local community in a welcoming and secure environment. The demand for these types of activities is already far greater than supply. Nearly 9% of those living in and around High Barnet are over the age of 75, and this percentage is set to increase over the next few years.Ownership of this Christian-led centre will offer practical help,companionship, fun, activities and most importantly – hope.With an Open Door to everyone.

Heather Taylor was just 25 when she was diagnosed with stage 3b, HER2 positive, breast cancer. As family, friends, and Heather embarked on the cancer journey, we started learning about all the organizations devoted to helping women.

(UK, 1137883) Browse eventsThe Lary Project is a small charity with a big mission: to represent and support the 1.5 million people with voice problems in the UK AND help prevent avoidable voice impairment. Voice problems are a significant disability both in terms of the numbers of people affected and the impact the conditions have on their lives. However, voice problems are also extremely low profile. Have you ever actually thought about how much you rely on the larynx, this little piece of skin in your throat? Probably not but it is crucial to communication, expression, singing, swallowing and breathing. It is perhaps for this reason that, incredibly, The Lary Project is the first charity specifically created to support people with voice problems. Voice problems can involve pain on speaking, a hoarse (sometimes near non-existent) voice, vocal fatigue and breathlessness, among other symptoms. Imagine if each word you uttered was painful and required conscious effort to produce? Imagine if all that came out despite this pain and effort was a strained, hoarse voice or whisper? Imagine what this might do to: Your family life (reading stories to your children) Social life (pubs and restaurants become no-go areas for some) Professional life (do you need to present in your work, talk on the telephone, speak to colleagues and clients? These become a real challenge for someone with a voice problem). Now imagine support and understanding from others is limited. The Lary Projects helps people via Support groups where attendees can meet others with voice problems. This is so, so important because voice problems can be very isolating and are often not easily understood by those who are not sufferers. Online information and advice on treatment options and issues such as working and socialising with a voice problem. Your support will mean our small charity can grow to meet the challenges of this big cause.
