The Croydon Summit, held on Friday 26 June 2026 at Croydon College, brought together local leaders, charities, community groups, and public sector partners to share ideas and strengthen collaboration across the borough.
The event provided a valuable space to reflect on Croydon’s priorities, celebrate partnership working, and explore practical ways to support residents. 

Speakers highlighted the importance of strong local networks, early intervention, and inclusive services that respond to the needs of diverse communities.
Discussions focused on key themes including health inequality, youth opportunities, community safety, and the role of the voluntary sector in delivering impact. 
Attendees shared examples of successful projects and discussed common challenges, with an emphasis on partnership solutions.
The Summit also created opportunities for networking, helping organisations to build relationships, share learning, and identify areas for joint working. 

Many participants welcomed the chance to connect with others across sectors and to hear directly from those delivering frontline support.
The Summit was a powerful demonstration of a shared commitment to collaboration and long-term change. By working together, partners can continue to build a stronger, more resilient Croydon for everyone.
