Santa and his elves have found their way back to Kennington Park Estate and will be joining the Simply Smiley team on Thursday afternoon for a panto party and present-giving! It’s free, but come early as space is limited.
Kennington Park Community Centre is warm! and we are sharing our warmth with local residents who want to pop in for a cuppa, game of bingo or dominoes, or just to make use of our free wi-fi in a quiet corner. From 9 January we will be opening on Monday and Friday afternoons from 12.30pm. On Mondays we will close at about 2.30 but on Fridays we plan to stay open until 4.30. We are working on getting hot food and food parcels available to take home or pop into our microwave.

Our Community Centre locked down in the middle of March and was closed until the end of July, when we were able to partially reopen to welcome over 30 local children to our Summer of Food and Fun, a programme funded by the Mayor’s Office for London in conjunction with Kitchen Social and Lambeth and Southwark Councils, which provided free freshly-cooked hot meals and healthy snacks, as well as a range of educational, creative and fun activities on Mondays and Tuesdays during the school holidays. Shannon and her team from Simply Smiley Productions were on hand to lead the fun, and making imaginative use of hula-hooped measured social distancing managed to successfully manoeuvre their way through the government’s rules and regulations (let alone guidance and advice) much to everyone’s delight and applause. We were pleased to receive grant funding to cover food and part of our costs.…
