I will be Striding for Sidings (definitely not running!) at Hampstead Heath Park Run on 23rd March.

Sidings Community Centre is a much-loved community hub in the heart of West Hampstead. We support, connect and celebrate our community through a 7-day-a week programme of affordable or free activities. This ranges from our friendly nursery for 2-4 year olds, the popular Sidings Youth Project, to lots of activities for adults of all ages – Chantraine Dance, Yoga, Ukulele classes, choir, ESOL classes, employability workshops, Digital skills centre, warm welcome cafe and busy food bank.

But like many community and voluntary organisations, Sidings is facing challenges to continue our activities and pay the ever increasing bills.

I will be joining our wonderful team of trustees, staff and volunteers who have offered to run (or walk) for Sidings - so please support us in keeping Sidings as the great place it is - a welcoming and well-resourced community place for everyone.
