Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Croydon Community Service Launch Event yesterday. It was a fantastic afternoon with meaningful conversations, new connections and plenty of energy in the room. We were delighted to welcome a range of organisations, including our Croydon BME Forum community partners and many others working to improve health and wellbeing across the borough.

We were especially moved by Mack Jehu's powerful musical performance on mental health. His message resonated deeply with our shared commitment to creating safe and supportive spaces for all.

Our service is built on Community, Compassion and Collaboration. We aim to strengthen support networks, improve access and provide a space where people feel seen and heard! We are currently funded by Maudsley Charity.

Special thanks to Maria Tanko, clinical director Dorothee Bonnigal-Katz and co-director Didi Dalley, our Croydon Team therapists Farrah, Jessy, Stacy and Quincy, and Peer Support workers Kimberley and Helen.

Many thanks to those of you who let us know they were planning to join us for our LAUNCH EVENT next week on Saturday 6 December from 12.30pm at the WELLNESS CENTRE in the Whitgift Shopping Centre, 1st floor, Unit 1040/42, Croydon, CR0 1LP (across from Waterstone’s Bookstore).
