Support from Spinach!

We’re incredibly proud to be supported by Spinach! 💚

We are pleased to announce that Spinach, an independent family run small chain of restaurants and shops in East Dulwich and Crystal Palace, is now supporting Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity.

Spinach, whose founder Mel and several team members have dyslexia, have decided to help us following an assessment that one of their team had from Helen Arkell.

As they were only diagnosed as adults, they feel that they spent meant years of feeling “not good enough”… when all they needed was the right support.

Spinach are kindly supporting Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity via donations in their restaurant, helping children get the support they need early on.

If you are in the area, pop in, grab something delicious, and donate if you can.  They also have a Just Giving page: Spinach London is fundraising for Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity

Thank you!
