As we look to the future, our ambition is for Legacy to continue to be more than a building. We want to stretch our reach as a hub at the heart of our community, a trusted one-stop shop where young people and families know they can find support, opportunities and people who believe in them. We want Legacy to be recognised as a flagship for high-quality universal and early preventative youth work, while strengthening the targeted support we provide for young people who need us most.
We know we cannot do this alone. Our future is about collaboration, bringing together like-minded charities, schools, community organisations and businesses so that young people can benefit from the very best opportunities our borough and wider city have to offer. By opening doors, sharing resources and building meaningful partnerships, we want every young person, regardless of their background or circumstances, to have access to opportunities that help them thrive.
Seven years in, we are incredibly proud of how far Legacy has come, but we are even more excited about what comes next. With young people at the heart of everything we do and our community around us, we want to build a Legacy that is stronger, more connected and sustainable for generations to come.
None of this would be possible without the people who believe in Legacy. To our funders, patrons, partners, businesses, volunteers, staff, families and wider community, thank you for standing alongside us, opening doors and investing in Croydon’s young people. Most importantly, thank you to our young people for continuing to shape Legacy and reminding us every day why this work matters.
