Exciting Times for Allens Cross Community Association

We are delighted to have received the Reaching Communities Lottery Award, which will fully fund our work for four years! This fantastic support will help our team continue making a positive difference in our community and develop what we offer. We will expand our support for neurodivergent adults and families. We will open our award-winning Community Garden five days a week. We will also deliver a range of new, free activities for the local community, creating more opportunities for the people we serve.
A heartfelt thank you to the National Lottery players and everyone who has supported our work. We are incredibly grateful and excited for the journey ahead!
