Abbey Leisure Centre

We were so pleased to have hosted a free fun day at Abbey Leisure Centre for the Barking & Dagenham looked-after children community. 💙

It was such a lovely day, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came along and helped make it so special. It was wonderful to see so many families turn up, enjoy themselves and make some great memories together.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the event — we hope you all had as much fun as we did! 🎉

🎉 More than 140 foster children and their carers enjoyed a fantastic free fun day at Abbey Leisure Centre on Monday!

From pool parties and arts and crafts to face painting, games and creative activities, it was a day full of fun 💙

A big thank you to Everyone Active for funding and delivering the event as part of its commitment to supporting communities in Barking and Dagenham, and to our incredible foster carers for everything they do for local children and young people.
