CACT Young Greenwich’s Community Fun Day
CACT Young Greenwich were pleased to host a successful, very first Community Fun Day that took place on Saturday, 12th July 2025. The event was a celebration of Young Greenwich, bringing together local communities, existing members of our youth hubs and their families for a day filled with fun-filled day of activities.
The day aimed to promote Young Greenwich services to children, young people and families who did not yet know about Young Greenwich and all the services we have available. Those who are aware of our services had an opportunity to meet our partners and other service users whilst learning about other services we have to offer to them in the Royal Borough of Greenwich under the Young Greenwich umbrella.
All the activities on the day were free, including balloon modelling and face painting, allowing everyone to enjoy their day in the sun.
Madison, Unit Manager at our Valley Central Hub, who organised this event, said, “Thank you to everyone from the community who came along to our first Young Greenwich Community Fun Day. It was lovely to see new and old faces, and I hope those who had never heard of Young Greenwich before learnt about our services and all about what we offer and met some of our team.
“I hope to see you attending a session in the future. And lastly, a massive thank you to staff, partners and food vendors who made the day a great success, it wouldn’t have been possible without you all.”
The highlight of the day, our DJs, who are members of our youth hubs and all under the age of 15, have been working on their new love for music and have developed skills and a real passion, which shows in our youth sessions.
On the day, they performed in front of, not only those who attended, but also in front of the Mayor of Greenwich, Linda Bird, and multiple commissioners and councillors who attended (thank you for your time, and we hope you enjoyed yourself).
Young Greenwich partners offered volleyball (Wapping Wildcats), judo skills (Metro Judo Club), circus skills (Aircraft Academy), sexual health awareness (Metro) and music therapy (Oxleas), as well as representatives of B Young Stars and AIM being present on the day.
CACT’s Live Well coaches were also in attendance, along with their bus offering benefit advice, cost of living support, energy bill support and blood pressure checks. To find out more click here
