Together for a Better Future
Community Highlights
At the heart of Newham, our events bring people together to create positive change. From local programmes to collaborative initiatives, we’re building a stronger, more connected community.
SEND Sports Day
Our SEND Sports Day is a day of inclusion and equality, designed specifically for disadvantaged children to participate in a range of sports activities. This event emphasises physical activity, teamwork, and personal achievement, ensuring every child experiences the joy of sports and the pride of accomplishment.
Mayor's Weekend
The Mayor’s Weekend is a standout event in our calendar, featuring a multitude of children's activities and a delectable array of food. This fun-filled day, highlighted by the presence of the local mayor, brings families together in a celebration of community spirit and shared enjoyment.
Day Trips
We organise a variety of exciting day trips throughout the year, offering families unique opportunities to explore and learn together. Last year, a highlight was our visit to Colchester Zoo, where over 150 children and their parents enjoyed an adventurous day, discovering exotic animals and creating unforgettable memories.
Picnics
Our family picnics are a cherished tradition, bringing together 30 to 40 families each time for a delightful outdoor experience. These events are filled with laughter, games, food and bonding activities, creating a joyful atmosphere where parents and children can unwind and connect with nature and each other.
Sports Day
Our sports events for our beneficiaries include engaging activities like football and rowing, promoting physical health and community spirit. These events cater to all ages and abilities, offering a fun and supportive environment where participants can develop new skills, stay active, and enjoy the camaraderie and teamwork inherent in these sports. Football matches and rowing sessions are organized to provide a mix of friendly competition and recreational enjoyment, encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle.
Movie Nights
Our regular movie nights at our community centre offer a cosy retreat for parents and kids alike. These evenings are designed to provide a break from the routine, with popular films, snacks, and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages families to enjoy quality time together.
