Grenfell Enhanced Health Checks – Now offered at ACAVA for Men’s Shed members

Published on: Wednesday 3 December 2025

We’re pleased to share that Grenfell Enhanced Health Checks are now being offered at a new community setting: ACAVA in partnership with the Men’s Shed, located at 54 Blechynden Street, London W10 6RJ. This partnership reflects our commitment to bringing health and wellbeing support directly into community-led, creative, and supportive spaces.

The sessions at the Men’s Shed are exclusively for Men’s Shed members, with checks taking place in a familiar, comfortable environment. The Men’s Shed is an inclusive space for anyone who enjoys hands-on creative projects, tools, and shared workshop activities. The Men’s Shed is open to everyone – all genders are warmly welcome to join the community.

If you lived or worked in the Grenfell area at the time of the fire and have any concerns about your health as a result of the Grenfell fire, consider coming forward for a 30-minute health check with a trusted health professional. They are free, completely confidential, and designed to provide advice on many aspects of your health and wellbeing.

Health checks include breathing checks, blood pressure, mental, emotional and social wellbeing support. Think of it as a simple, supportive annual health MOT – centred entirely around your wellbeing.

By working with valued community venues such as the Men’s Shed, we’re continuing to make health checks accessible, friendly, and welcoming, offering spaces where people feel comfortable and supported.

We’re proud to partner with a range of local organisations:

  • Bay20, a trusted and supportive community hub at the heart of the neighbourhood
  • The Venture Centre, an old favourite known for its strong community spirit
  • Baseline Studios (Lancaster West Residents Association), a wonderfully supportive and welcoming space for our clinic
  • St Charles Community Clinic 2, based within the local hospital that so many people know it well
  • St Michael’s Church, Ladbroke Grove, hosted by WAND, whose food bank and wider services play a vital role in supporting their clients with care and compassion. Together, these partnerships help ensure that everyone can access health checks in places that feel comfortable, familiar, and genuinely community-led.
