Fairer, greener, safer Haringey

Our investments are guided by a clear vision: to make Haringey a fairer, greener, and safer place for everyone.

Fairer

We are tackling inequality by expanding access to support and opportunity.

Last year we supported:

almost 3,920 vulnerable residents through adult social care
more than 5,000 children through children’s social care
2,630 households in temporary accommodation

In addition, over 8,000 children now receive free school meals, and more than 5,700 households have been supported through the Haringey Support Fund.

What this looks like in practise:

Children’s Services awarded a 'Good' OFSTED rating
SEND services achieved the highest OFSTED rating
opened 4 new family hubs in Wood Green, Northumberland Park, Muswell Hill, and Seven Sisters
provided council tax relief to 24,759 families
helped 1,240 residents into jobs via Haringey Works
delivered £47M investment into school repairs and renovations
ensured our 4 leisure centres are now publicly run, with £6M more investment planned
