Haringey Solidarity Group

Who we are

We are a group of local people who want to get rid of the current system which places profit and power before people’s real needs. To do this, we believe we all need to get organised, fight back and take over the decision-making in communities and workplaces. We support and participate in local campaigns, spread ideas and help create effective opposition to the powers that be.

Get involved

Come along to our monthly meetings, held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Phoenix Millennium Centre, or check our events calendar for other events. Anyone who lives or works in Haringey is welcome.

Anti-workfare protest at Homebase Harringay - Sun 14 July, 1pm

As part of Boycott Workfare's week of action, Haringey Solidarity Group will be picketing outside Harringay Homebase tomorrow, Sunday from 1pm-2pm in protest at use of unpaid workers at their Willesden store.

Join us on Sunday 14 July, 1pm at Homebase Harringay, 430 Green Lanes, N4 1DT. by Harringay Green Lanes rail station.

Earlier this year, we picketed their store in response to their use of the Job Centre's work experience scheme which forces claimants to work for their dole, or face cuts to their benefits. Homebase later made a statement confirming they would not use any further recruits from the scheme, but it seems they have now gone back on their word and have been up to the same tricks at their Willesden branch.

IT'S OUR TOTTENHAM! STREET ASSEMBLY - 12 noon, Wards Corner Market, Tottenham High Road, N15

The Council, backed by property developers and big business, are promoting their ‘Plan for Tottenham’. They want to force us to accept large-scale profit-driven development, increased rents, more unaffordable housing - and the loss of some independent local shops and community facilities. This will seriously affect our lives and our communities, and rising rents will force many local people out of the area.

This is unacceptable. It doesn't have to be like this. Together we are very powerful. We call on local people to speak out for our real needs, and to defend our communities.
