We are so excited to share our new video! If you know an older person who might be keen to join our community, why not show them what we get up to? A huge thank you to Chocolate films, Enable Health and Wellbeing and Wandsworth Council for helping us to make it. #Wandsworth #intergenerational #Battersea
