Hello everyone! Meet Isobel! She’s one of the wonderful volunteers here that helps keep The Mill running! After coming here with her children and meeting lots of friendly faces, she decided to set up the Lego Club as a volunteer which she’s been running for over 3 years!

If you’re a parent or carer, here’s your sign to come to The Mill. We have a free playroom for babies and toddlers, and an Honesty Library full of books for all ages. Perhaps, you might also like to set up something like Isobel that would benefit the community?

Pop in anytime we’re open! Talk to our reception volunteers or staff to find out more.

Thanks Isobel and Lego Club for letting us film! 🧡 taken in The Mill on Coppermill Lane by @themille17

Want to do something incredible in Walthamstow?

The Mill is a special place! As a small charity, it's the power of community that keeps the doors open! Helping us fundraise can be a super fun and very rewarding way to help The Mill.

Take on a sponsored walk, run or cycle. Host a bake sale. Run a craft session. Or create your own event with friends, neighbours, or your community group. Big or small, every idea makes a difference!

Every pound raised helps keep The Mill open, brings people together and celebrates our community!

Such a fantastic new exhibition has just gone up at The Mill!

‘My Walthamstow’ celebrates the diversity of our area and the people who make up our community.

For this exhibition, we invited artists to share their personal perspectives and show us Walthamstow through their eyes. Their work explores a range of themes, from familiar places and memories to how Walthamstow has changed over the years, as well as activism, identity and the many things artists love about the area.

Together, these different perspectives create a rich and varied portrait of Walthamstow, reflecting how people experience, connect with and shape this place we all call home.

As always many of the artworks are for sale with proceed going to the artists and to support The Mill. It's a great opportunity to buy a piece about our community and that also helps our community!

Free to view until Friday 13 November. taken in The Mill on Coppermill Lane by @themille17
