Local community group Together In Waddon is looking to TEAM up with caring sponsors

Together In Waddon is a well-established community group working in and around the Waddon Estate in Croydon, providing after school clubs and holiday activities for children, regular lunch clubs and tea dance events for older people, a welfare benefits advice service and frequent festivals, performances and whole-community events.

"We have tackled some of the major issues facing the community, including anti-social behaviour, gang culture, racism, and drug and alcohol abuse and have worked to ease tensions and misunderstandings between younger and older members of the community.

"Our work with children and young people has been commended by the local Youth Offending Team, police and council officials who have recognised the positive impact we have made.

"Sudden withdrawal of council funding has forced us to seriously scale back the operation.

"We urgently need support to enable us to continue our valuable work with children.

"Our clubs are called TEAM Academy (TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More); there is room for a sponsor's name in there!"
