After a chance meeting last March, two formidable women, Senia Dedic and Hadas Hagos have been canvassing Wandsworth Council to fund a 10 week DIY course at The Goodlife Centre for the Woman of Wandsworth ( WOW) – an even more formidable group of women who are living in over crowded housing conditions.
Finally, after many months of paperwork, loopholes, guidelines, accessments and visits from council employees, they did it.
The WOW course began today. We got stuck in with hammers and nails and to add extra diversion, one of the women was also accompanied by a BBC news crew who are highlighting her changed circumstance due to her housing benefit capping.
News coverage of Sandra’s story is due to air 20th January. Nick Robertson will cover this story on News at 10.
