New Addington Leisure & Community Centre

Last night we celebrated the incredible talent across Croydon at the GLL Sport Foundation Awards 🎉

A record 140 local athletes will be supported this year, with over £100k of investment helping them train, compete and achieve their ambitions.

From rising stars to elite performers, it was inspiring to see the dedication, passion and community spirit on show 💪

Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients – we’re proud to support your journey!
