The SisterHood project is an innovative girls-only project which takes place every Tuesday at Somerford Grove Adventure Playground & Community Project, Park Lane Close, Tottenham N17 0HL.
The project aims to create a safe, creative, challenging, co-operative space in which girls can experience themselves free from the pressures of ‘being female’. Play activities can engage them in being who they want to be, without judgement or the need to justify.
SisterHood aims to encourage positive, social relationships with a strong sense of community. The older girls (aged 15 plus) are offered training opportunities and support to become volunteers and/or a “Big Sista” to support the younger girls. Through the project, we are also building a network of women from within our community.
The SisterHood project is on every Tuesday during term time from 3 to 6.30pm.
For more information about SisterHood please contact Senior Playworker Sianead Crawford sianead@haringey-play.org.uk or call 020 8808 0533

Improving Emotion Regulation – for the mental health, wellbeing and attainment of children
On Thursday 26 September Haringey’s Anchor Approach held a highly successful conference at Highgate School to launch the Anchor Approach as Haringey’s model to support children, young people and their families in resilience, mental health and wellbeing across the borough.
This event celebrated the launch of the new name – the Anchor Approach, formerly the Anchor Project, re-named in recognition of its broader reach across the children’s workforce.
The conference – Improving Emotion Regulation – for the mental health, wellbeing and attainment of children featured Dr Janet Rose, who expertly provided the wider context of research around ‘Emotion Coaching’ and enabled delegates to recognise and assist children through situations of stress or potential conflict.
Emotion regulation is one of the strands which form the Anchor Approach and this conference provided an opportunity for a diverse group of frontline practitioners to come together to learn about these ground-breaking techniques. Those attending included colleagues from health, children’s services, education settings and third sector organisations.
Also highlighted on the day were the newly trained Emotion Coaching leads now working in multi-agency settings to support the embedding of the Anchor Approach across the borough.
The conference was opened by Councillor Brabazon, Cabinet Member for Children and Families, and we were warmly welcomed to Highgate School by Mr Todd Lindsay, Principle Deputy Head.
Discussions with the assembly highlighted the benefit of a holistic, multi-agency approach to improve children’s wellbeing and for children and families to achieve their full potential.
The conference concluded with the words of Ceri May, manager of the Anchor Approach and Dr Will Maimaris, Interim Director of Public Health, underlining the high importance of Dr Rose’s work and expressing gratitude to Highgate School for generously hosting the event.
