A year ago, the Stapleford Community Pavilion officially opened its doors. Since then, it has become a thriving centre for sport, health, learning and community life.

Here's a snapshot of the impact made in the last 12 months:

  • 10,000+ football spectators welcomed to the hub
  • 120 young people attending Steven Gerrard Academy every week
  • 11,000 padel sessions
  • Thousands of health and wellbeing visits, including e-gym users, physiotherapy and specialist support sessions
  • 20+ new jobs created across leisure, education, childcare and hospitality

From football matches and dance classes to nursery places, health programmes and employment opportunities, the Pavilion really is benefitting people of all ages across Stapleford.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make the first year such a success. This is only the beginning!

Stay safe during darker nights

As the nights draw in, here’s a few safety tips to keep you safer when heading out and about through the darker months:

  • Keep handbags, purses or wallets secure and never unattended.
  • Only take out money, cards, or your phone when you need them and it's safe to do so.
  • Drink responsibly, stay in groups, and never leave drinks unattended.
  • Your safety is more important than belongings—don’t risk harm for valuables.
