LINGFIELD LIVING LOCAL 

We run a community hub through which we offer a safe and welcoming space by hosting activities which bring together people from different cultures, ages and backgrounds who live locally.All activities are based on community consultation and we prioritise groups run by local people themselves.Example activities are music workshops, fun days, craft and cooking groups, celebrating festivals etc.
