Yesterday we hosted the Friends of Forster Memorial Park annual meeting in our George Green Hall.
It was a wonderful, creative community planning session to make the most our inclusive green spaces. Visitors also made beautiful heart shaped decorations from willow, harvested from our garden.
On Wednesdays at Goldsmiths Community Centre we have a wonderfully eclectic selection of activities on site. This includes Menobox, a cheery innovative boxing class targeted at menopausal and perimenopausal women.
Goldsmiths Dance Academy, one of our long standing hires, are with us every term time Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening. Further information available from [email protected]
Beautiful morning in the park, made extra special with a cheeky wee cappuccino from #thefrothycoffee hut. Thanks to Lewisham Council Partnership funding we're supporting some of the Friends of Forster Memorial Park projects this year #greenspaces #greenspaces #parklife #parklove #earlyspring
We're loving our collaboration with the #ToughBoysDanceCollective #WeAreLewisham #dancing #YaDancer

Peace of Cake - Refugee Week
One of the highlights from the recent Peace of Cake during #RefugeeWeek2022 with the Citizens of the World Choir and Emily Watson. We're proud of the early support our community centre gave to this brilliant initiative.
Bring Me Sunshine Catford, Goldsmiths Dance Academy, Lewisham Positive Ageing Council and Goldsmiths Community Centre are delighted to announce that we have been awarded Arts Council England funding to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
We will work in partnership to deliver an intergenerational project. This will culminate in three exciting cabaret performances over the weekend of 11th and 12th of June!
