BEATRICE BOUSSARD
Keeping Well Together Organiser
Hello I am Beatrice, Keeping Well Together Organiser at CAWH.
My role is to create activities for people to meet while doing something they enjoy.
Human contact and interaction are vital to increase well-being and decrease isolation and loneliness.
A bit about me...
I am French, living in London for the last 30 years, and brought up two amazing young men.
I enjoy travelling, cooking, nature and dancing.
I was a Sheltered housing manager for 15 years, and during the pandemic, I trained as a mindfulness teacher.
Then I decided it was time for a change of career. This lovely Community Centre just had the perfect role for me!
Since February, we now have a regular coffee morning, a monthly memory cafe and many more activities and events!
