In 2019, to ensure Perivale Library could continue to serve the community in the face of closure by Ealing Council, together with
other trustees and local residents Patryk Starzykowski, Alannah McGovern, Derick Kazilege, Iwona Jakubowska, and Magda Flynn (group photo below), I set up Perivale Community
Hive (PCH) a Community Managed Library (CML).
I undertook the legal work to set PCH up as a registered charity, and negotiated all the legal agreements with the
Council.
