Afternoon Tea at Venn Court Brixton - Bringing the Community Together

Live West and Venn Court, in collaboration with Dementia Friendly Parishes and the Yealmpton and Brixton Community Friendship Project, are delighted to present an 'Open Afternoon'.

This event is designed to offer a platform for the local community to discuss and propose health and well-being activities they wish to see implemented, such as exercise programs, coffee mornings, and craft groups, essentially, any initiative that fosters social interaction and strengthens community bonds.

Local service providers are encouraged to come along, connect with potential clients and promote their activity or organisation.

Complimentary Afternoon Tea, including scones and cake, will be served.

The effort is in encouraging you to join in, share your ideas, and help to establish an activity hub in the heart of Brixton.
