The Duchess of Cornwall visited the Pepper Pot Centre and heard how this hub for older people has continued to support vulnerable members of the community throughout lockdown. The Pepper Pot Centre in Ladbroke Grove was founded in 1981 by Pansy Jeffrey, a Windrush generation activist. The aim was to provide a culturally sensitive drop-in centre for members of the elderly African Caribbean community. Staff are also supporting members who cannot visit the centre through a meal delivery service and regular phone calls.
