Events / Projects
Events and projects rooted in Croydon.
Floating Counselling Community delivers local partnership projects, wellbeing meetups, practical support and community events that help residents feel seen, connected and supported.
Locality partnership
Croydon Central East - Local Community Partnership - CrESNT.
Floating Counselling has been given funding to deliver a locality project for residents. The Local Community Partnership in Croydon Central East covers Woodside, Shirley, Addiscombe East and Park Hill.
The partnership brings residents, voluntary and community organisations, Croydon Council, health, the Metropolitan Police and other local professionals together. The aim is to listen to local people, act on what they say, and build leadership that fully involves the community.
