ABBOTSHALL HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CENTRE
We are a small community centre based in the heart of Catford. Our aim is to provide the community a safe and welcoming place where people can participate in healthy activities such as sports, gardening and eating homemade healthy food. We have a beautiful volunteer lead community garden where we grow our own produce for people to enjoy our homecooked food.
