The best thing to do is come to one of our events, email us or come and find one of the committee who live on the estate. If you have any questions or want to get more involved please get in touch with us here.


The annual Penge Festival is in full swing.
Here’s a calendar of the upcoming events.

Scott from Victor Road is cycling from London to Brighton on June 17th to raise money for St Christopher’s Hospice.

I’m cycling the 54 miles from London to Brighton in June both as a personal challenge and also to raise money for a local charity – St Christopher’s Hospice in Sydenham, South East London.
The charity provided care for a friend and neighbour of ours near the end of her life and does the same for many others. Many people are touched by cancer in one way or another, so please dig deep and support them.

You can donate on his Just Giving page.
