What's on
From family support, fitness classes and learning to art exhibitions, festivals and talks, our activities are wide and far reaching.
19 runners are taking on the 13.1-mile course on 7 September this year, aiming to raise £4,800 to combat loneliness and improve the quality of life for older adults in Waterloo and North Southwark.
Coin Street’s neighbourhood centre and Colombo Centre provide safe, warm, and welcoming spaces for over 230 older adults each year. Activities on offer include art group, coffee morning, dancercise, Feel Good Saturday, Gentle Gardening, Herbs Flowers Teas and Treats, community singing, as well as trips and events.
Runners from Turner & Townsend and CBRE - two organisations with offices local to Coin Street – have got stuck in with fundraising and are training hard for the challenge ahead.
“CBRE and Turner & Townsend PJM UK are delighted to support Coin Street and our local community, by volunteering to run the Big Half. Our people are passionate about investing in our communities and bridging the generational gaps.
"When supporting these initiatives, we demonstrate a commitment to the well-being of residents, fostering a stronger, more inclusive society where everyone thrives.” - Nicky Hatt, Associate Director, CBRE
Last year, 14 runners raised £4,765 for Coin Street’s youth night. A fantastic achievement!
