A mental health charity has launched a new service for teenagers thanks to a “staggering” donation from a pub.
Haringey Mind will run a new drop-in clinic for young people after receiving more than £2,000 from the Clissold Arms in Muswell Hill which is owned by UK Cypriot George Karageorgis whose parents are from Lefkoniko in Cyprus.
Lesley-Anne Holder, young persons adviser at Mind, said the charity was “ecstatic”.
She said: “Obviously we wanted to run this service and we’re absolutely chuffed and overwhelmed at this donation. We’re quite blown away.”
The new service will offer teenagers aged between 12 and 18 the chance to get confidential advice from the charity’s youth advisor.
The sessions, which are free, will run every Wednesday between 3pm and 6pm in the Clissold Arms, Muswell Hill
.
The Clissold Arms is a laid-back, family-orientated pub situated between Muswell Hill and East Finchley in North London. Their menus reflect the relaxed character of the pub, but we don’t compromise on quality or service. We pride ourselves on producing great home-made, locally-sourced and traditional British dishes with European influences.
The ambience of the Clissold Arms is what makes this pub a truly unique experience with five distinct areas – main Restaurant, Kinks Room, covered Terrace, the Shed and our Garden, all of which you can enjoy for dinner or drinks. Our different rooms can also be hired out for any special occasion.
The Clissold Arms is the home of The Kinks, having had the honour of hosting their first gig in December 1960, and their last gig, in June 1996. In their honour, our Kinks Room is adorned with Kinks memorabilia and is the pride of Kinks fans from all over the world.
The Clissold Arms has continually sought to build strong and meaningful relationships with customers and groups from the local community, we host a number of community groups and hold regular events .
