London Autism Group Charity is launching a drop-in autism community café for the Greek & Cypriot community
The London Autism Group Charity are launching a new drop-in autism community café scheme for the Greek and Greek Cypriot community of London, although all people from any background are welcome.
The community café will be at the Cypriot Community Centre in Wood Green every last Saturday of the month, at 11am-1pm. The charity is having the brief launch ceremony on 29th October at 10.45am where there will be time to meet the team, answer questions and take some photos.
The scheme is aimed at anyone with an interest or connection with autism and neurodiversity, including Autistics (of any age), parents, carers and allies. It is entirely free, with biscuits, cakes, drinks and sensory toys available, and no pre-registration required.
Regarding what the initiative is trying to achieve, Charity lead, and co-lead of this initiative, Dr Chris Papadopoulos said: “Up to now, there haven’t been any clear and regular opportunities for Greek Autistics – and the wider Greek community – to regularly come together in a safe, inclusive place so they can meet others, relax in a friendly and welcoming space, and, really importantly, feel less isolated. This is really important because autism isn’t something that is very openly discussed in the Greek community, the result of which can mean that autistic people feel misunderstood or rejected. So an initiative like this which has a clear focus on autism in the Greek community, and helps bring people together, can help with that.”
Ellie Kolatsi, a parent of an autistic child and co-lead of the initiative, said: “I am extremely excited to be involved in such a great initiative which is important to me and my family as my son is autistic. It is an opportunity for the Greek community who are autistic or carers of autistic people to connect with each other in a meaningful way. Our aim is to create a space for conversations to happen in a non-judgemental environment and where better than in the heart of our community, the Cypriot Community Centre. We are also fortunate to be able to share information and our experiences every first Thursday evening of the month on London Greek Radio who are also kindly supporting this initiative.”
Sophia Christophi, an autistic adult and co-lead of the initiative, said: “As a Greek Cypriot autistic adult, I have not had much opportunity to talk about autism within the community… until now! I am delighted to be part of this new initiative to help Greek and Greek Cypriots understand more about autism and to promote the social inclusion and acceptance of autistic people. It’s so important for people to have accurate information about autism, and we are fortunate to have a monthly All About Autism show on LGR where we will be discussing various autism-related topics. We extend our thanks to the Cypriot Community Centre for supporting the community café, which will be a great way of bringing people together.”

UKTS’ celebrates International Thalassaemia Day 2022
On Sunday 8th May 2022, Grovelands Park in North London turned red by a sea of supporters who came to celebrate the charity’s work and raise awareness of the genetic blood condition Thalassaemia.
The 5km fun-run was initially planned to be a small local event to celebrate International Thalassaemia Day and it quickly exceeded expectations as interest grew. The event was also extended to the global population following requests from loved ones and colleagues aboard all wanting to support the charity’s work.
The day was enjoyed by over 300 supporters in the sunshine with over 100 signed up to run or walk.
Globally, it was supported by over 30 countries with participants opting to wear red, complete the distance and provide pictures of themselves which they proudly shared on social media platforms with the hopes of raising awareness and much needed funds.
Patrons Peter Polycarpou and Kypros Kyprianou together with Bambos Charalambous, MP for Enfield Southgate and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Thalassaemia not only supported the event but also participated by running the 5Km themselves!
They were joined at the starting line by Michael Yiakoumi (Parikiaki), Katerina Neocleous (London Greek Radio) Gabriel Theophanous (UKTS Chair), team members and supporters of the society.
The passion, commitment, and support of all the volunteers, supporters and the team were nothing short of amazing. UKTS received over £12,000.00 in donations, sponsorship and funds raised by patrons, volunteers, staff and supporters.
Due to the event’s success, many have requested that the UKTS make it an annual 5K!
Thalassaemia is a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of haemoglobin in red blood cells.
If you’re a carrier of Thalassaemia, it means that you carry one of the faulty genes that cause Thalassaemia, but you do not have the condition yourself.
Being a carrier is sometimes known as having the ‘Thalassaemia trait’ or having ‘Thalassaemia minor’.If you carry Thalassaemia, you will never develop the condition, but you may sometimes experience mild anaemia. This is because your red blood cells are smaller than usual. However, if you and your partner are both carriers, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy that the baby can inherit a severe form of Thalassaemia necessitating life-long blood transfusions and a daily rigorous treatment plan.
The NHS Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia screening programme tests all pregnant women in England for Thalassaemia; however, you can choose to get tested at any time.
Finding out your carrier status is simple and all it takes is a blood sample.
Anyone can be a carrier of Thalassaemia, but it’s much more common in people from certain ethnic backgrounds.
Thalassaemia mainly affects people who are from, or who have family members originally from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, South-east Asia, the Caribbean and South America.
UKTS recommends knowing you and your partner’s Thalassaemia carrier status.
