OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
Acton Homeless Concern
Acton Homeless Concern is a local charity with two drop-in day centres providing help, advice and support not only for the homeless but also for anyone in need. ISL has a long-established relationship with the centre that is at the heart of our community. Our Language Department leads the way each year to collect winter clothing - jumpers, trousers, socks, shoes, jackets - and blankets.
How you can help? Please pass on your pre-loved or new winter clothes (jumpers, trousers, shoes, socks, blankets) to bring some light and warmth into the lives of those in need.
​
At present, Acton Homeless Concern is especially in need of male clothes.
1 - send us your pre-owned clothes. Please kindly send only clean clothes.
2 - donate large plastic containers for safe and dry storage until delivery
3 - purchase, by donation, the figurative 'MT sock' from our e-Market. All profits from such donations will be used to purchase warm clothes and blankets to donate to Acton Homeless Concern.
Inclusive Gunnersbury
​
Students in the Grade 8 and Grade 9 Communication classes have been studying the importance of inclusion and what that looks like in their own communities. They are creating historical narratives that engage patrons of Gunnersbury Park – together, we are looking at the interesting historical significance that Gunnersbury Park holds, and sharing it across languages with the many local and global visitors.
​
Translating signage is also part of creating an inclusive space where all people feel welcome and can enjoy exploring the park.
