Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential.

Our priorities

We have set ourselves five missions to create a more equal future for Islington by 2030.

Achieving our shared ambition for a more equal future is not just about what we do, but how we do it. We can only bring about the change we all care so deeply about through a collective endeavour with local businesses, other public services, residents and community organisations.

It is only by working together that we can create a more equal future in Islington. For each of these missions, we will keep challenging ourselves to do better with and for our residents.

In tackling inequality, we will focus on:

  • Poverty and affordability - Making sure everyone has the financial means to access what they need for a good life.
  • Quality of life - Making sure everyone has the resources to live, learn, work and spend time in nurturing. environments.
  • Power and influence - Making sure everyone has a real say over decisions that affect them and their communities.

  • Child-friendly Islington

    By 2030, Islington will be a place where all children and young people are rooted in a community where they feel safe, can thrive and are able to be part of and lead change

  • Empowering people

    Empowering people is our approach to working with the community to tackle inequality through high quality early intervention and prevention

  • A safe place to call home

    We are determined that by 2030, everyone in Islington has a safe, decent and genuinely affordable place to call home

  • Community Wealth Building

    Community Wealth Building is a way of tackling economic inequality and creating an economy that works for everyone

  • Greener, healthier Islington

    By 2030, we want our communities in Islington to live healthy and independent lives and enjoy London’s greenest, cleanest and healthiest neighbourhoods
