Tea Party in the Park Launches Community Hub
Aliche performs as Southfield Recreation Ground
May 23, 2023
There was lots of support from residents this Saturday (20 May) for an event to showcase the launch of a new community hub in Southfield Recreation Ground.
The W4 Youth Tea Party in the Park featured live music, a five-a-side football competition and tea and cakes which were donated by parents and neighbours of the park.
From 2.30pm onwards a football tournament organised by Rocks Lane took place which was won by Rocks Lane U12s with Grove Park Rangers finishing second.
During the rest of the afternoon there was live music provided by locally based singers Alichė & Erire.
The W4 Youth Trustees were on hand to explain to people at the party what the plans were for the new permanent Youth & Community Centre on the western edge of the park. These included W4 Youth Founder and Chair Sally Chacatté and local ward councillor Gary Malcolm.

We’ll be sharing our opening date for activities soon.”
