Coulsdon Community Partnership

Hi everyone, hope you’re well. We have been asked to help invite local residents to take part in a community recruitment afternoon for a new Local Area Coordinator role supporting our area.

The session will take place on Monday 30th March between 10am and 4pm at Tollers Community Centre. Candidates will have short one to one conversations with local people, giving you the chance to help shape who is selected by sharing your feedback.

We’re looking for friendly, community-minded people to join the panel for part of the day. Full briefing and light refreshments will be provided.

If you’re interested in getting involved or would like more details, please reply to this message. It would be great to have you involved.

Unfortunately our yoga Fine Toad next week (10th and 11th March) will not be going ahead as our yoga teacher is stuck in New Zealand awaiting alternative flights back due to the problems in the Middle East - we wish her a safe journey back and look forward to resuming classes as soon as she is back. Classes will run at Tollers as usual.

We wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make THE Coulsdon Christmas Tree a reality this year. What you see standing proudly in the town is the result of a lot of people giving their time, energy and support behind the scenes, and it definitely did not happen by accident.

Thank you to Charlie King for organising and pulling everything together, Gill Hickson for decorating and making the tree feel truly festive, Richard and the team at Croydon Council for permission and support, Anthony for sourcing the tree, and Coulsdon West Residents Association and East Coulsdon Residents' Association - ECRA for their generous donation. Thanks also to everyone who helped with lights, batteries, setup and logistics along the way. It really was a community effort from start to finish.

We wanted to share this so the community knows just how much work goes into creating something like this, and that this isn’t a council or library project, it’s THE Coulsdon Christmas Tree, sorted out by local people for Coulsdon.

If you have a Christmas message you’d like to add to the tree for loved ones, please feel free to come down and add it to one of the branches. It’s been lovely seeing the messages already added.

Well done to everyone involved for all your hard work this year, and from all of us at the Coulsdon Community Partnership, we wish you a very Merry Christmas.

🎄✨ A Message from the Shop Owners of Coulsdon ✨🎄

This Christmas, the independent shops of Coulsdon came together with one simple aim: to remind our community just how powerful it is when you shop local ❤️ managed by Coulsdon Home Hardware

The Magical Christmas Trail was our way of saying thank you for choosing local, independent businesses and for keeping our high street alive. By shopping locally, you weren’t just buying gifts, you were supporting jobs, families, and the future of Coulsdon’s town centre.

To show our appreciation, we created an incredible incentive for taking part, and we’re delighted to announce the winners:
🥇 £350 CASH – Shona
🥈 £200 CASH – Nathan
🥉 Waitrose hamper & £30 CASH – Elizabeta

Hundreds of you visited local shops, explored the trail, and supported businesses that are passionate about this community. Every visit, every purchase, and every kind word genuinely makes a difference.

This is exactly what can happen when a community chooses to shop local. Stronger high streets. Thriving independents. Memorable experiences.
