Warmer Croydon Community Space

Aim

The cost of living crisis is challenging our community. Please help us to provide a warm, safe space to meet and share skills each week.

Who are we?

UK DRC Bridge is there helping a wide range of group in need in UK, including children, young people, the sick, and the elderly and destitute communities.We carry out the activities through training, seminars, 1.1, mentor, meeting, forums, workshops, and telephones, face to face. And our objects are: The advancement of education, The reliefof poverty, the advancement of health or the saving of lives and the advancement of thearts culture heritage and science.. 

Community impact

We know that there are people in our community suffering behind closed doors, worried about heating their homes and lonely without people to talk to and share their experiences with. We want to open our community centre more widely to provide a regular warm space for residents to meet, make new friends and build new experiences without the pressure to pay or exchange money for services.

The lockdown has impacted our community's confidence deeply but we know that by providing a safe, warm space for people to enjoy and connect again, we can bring a newly revived resilience to our community and their neighbours.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are asking local businesses and organisations that would like to help us to raise funds so that we can work in collaboration with our partner projects and programme time and activities that build on our learning within the centre, that are staffed and make our community centre available to those that need a warm space, company and something hot to eat every week. Single donations up to £250 made via this crowdfunder will be matched by Coop.

How we’ll spend the money raised

The Community Warmer place relies on hire income to pay for hall, food, volunteers expenses and overheads. The funding raised will secure dedicated time for these warm space activities.
