The Family Centre in Fieldway New Addington is embarking on an exciting journey, piloting a project to deliver a community hub accessible to all ages. Community Connect aims to empower the local community by building on existing relationships and forging new connections with stakeholders to strengthen and improve outcomes for local people. It is a project delivered by the community, for the community.

The Worshipful the Mayor of Croydon, Councillor Wayne Trakas-Lawlor will officially launch the Community Connect project
and open our doors to the wider Fieldway and New Addington community at 3,30pm.

The theme of the event will be the Community Connect project’s aim of delivering local solutions for local people in alliance with local voluntary, community, faith and statutory services and they will be showcasing exactly what Community Connect can offer local people.
After this, everyone is invited to join in the fun and activities. A taster of what to expect is detailed below:

• Our Alliance partners will be pledging their commitment to the local community in a unique way
