Residents support youth centre fun
day ahead of council decision
The Corner House Project has a new
name to avoid confusion
The Wanstead Charity volunteers delivering
food and clothing to the homeless
Over 350 people attended a fun day at
Wanstead Youth Centre last month. “The event
was designed to show what an invaluable
community asset the centre is. Attendees
enjoyed a range of activities, from basketball
to boxing, as well as sampling the stateof-the-art
music studio. We would like to
thank the community for their support,” said
a spokesperson for the Save Our Wanstead
Youth Centre Campaign group. Redbridge
Council is due to decide on the venue’s future
next month. Visit wnstd.com/sowyc
The Corner House Project has changed its
name to The Wanstead Charity. “Nothing else
will change; we will still work for the homeless,
for victims of domestic violence and for any
needy local people. Since we started in 2019,
there has been confusion as people assume
we’re part of the Corner House building (Allan
Burgess Centre) on the High Street – where
we used to have an office – and they have had
to field calls and sort donations left outside,
so the name change will avoid this,” said a
spokesperson. Visit wnstd.com/twc
