It was Harvest Festival time at Cranbrook Community Centre, where we've previously helped with the garden and distributed food to locals.
This time Heather, Ivy and John manned the stall, where donated food was available at bargain prices, in aid of the Air Ambulance.
Two samosas, two large spring rolls, two pakoras, four onion bhajis or two cakes could be had for just £1.
We've learnt gardening, painting, sawing and shovelling in GoodGym. Now we can run a cafe as well! And that was just the first shift...
Tucked behind Roman Road, this vibrant Community Centre is a lively hub of connection, creativity, and care. Run by two longstanding local residents, the centre is a welcoming environment for all, offering a wide range of free-to-access events and activities that help to bring people together from all walks of life. From music and parties to fitness classes and prayer groups, there's something for everyone. With a strong focus on inclusion and affordability, the centre also provides low-cost hall hire to support local groups and initiatives. More than just a building, Cranbrook is a place for the community to grow.
