Haringey has lost nearly £17,000,000 in previously allocated government grants since the new coalition government came into power.

Young people will be hit hard by the latest wave of cuts as free swimming lessons for children are scrapped, free school meals, and youth centre programmes are also likely to go.

HSG organised a protest against giant corporation BP on Saturday 26 June outside Tottenham Hale BP Garage as part of Haringey Sustainability Month. The aim was to draw attention to the many climate crimes BP is responsible for, all in the name of profit, show solidarity with workers exploited by the corporation and encourage people to build collective and local alternatives to the climate crisis.

We spent the month before the general election enthusiastically distributing the latest "anti-election" issue of our newsletter. With street stalls every weekend, tube station distributions and door-to-door delivery, we handed out all 5,000 copies of the Totally Indypendent in just over four weeks.

In fact we had so much fun that we completely forgot to post our reports on the website.  So below is a report from our stall on 1st May:

The threat to the Whittington A&E and five other hospitals in north London has outraged tens of thousands of people in all the boroughs affected. It is part of a bigger government plan to enforce cuts in all public services. Across the country, people are taking up the fight, resistance is growing against closures, privatisations and cuts - and in defence of local services that truly serve the community.

A new claimants' support group has been set in Haringey. Anyone who is claiming benefits (not just the unemployed) is welcome to come along to our meetings, held on the first Thursday of the month, at Phoenix Millennium Centre, West Green Road.

Benefits are a right 

– not a privilege!
