👋 Wonderful to meet the community of Barking this morning! The King and Queen visited the Barking Learning Centre Community and Family Hub. This community-based learning facility houses Barking Library and brings together a range of council services, and local groups. 💬 Their Majesties spent time with families and staff, who work at the centre to provide advice on employment, support those who are homeless, and encourage reading in the library.
