Can you gift a child joy this Christmas?

The festive season should be a time of joy. But this year, whilst trying to recover from the pandemic and struggling with the rising cost of living, many families in Newham are having to make heartbreaking decisions on whether to put food on the table or warm up their home or watch their child wake up on Christmas morning to no gifts, through no fault of their own.

That’s why we’re inviting you to support our Christmas Joy Appeal and help us gift joy to a child in need!

Vote for us in The Big Vote!

BDCA has been shortlisted as one of the People Powered Place projects that could get up to £20,000 funding – with your help!

Please vote for our project ‘VolunteE6 – Bonny Downs Community Association’ to help us cover costs of our volunteer led activities for children and families.

Changes to Bonny Downs Nursery

Bonny Downs Nursery was set up as a social enterprise to help bring in money to support the wider charitable work of BDCA. Since its inception, BDCA has been working hard to attract customers to make our nursery financially stable. Some of our own staff rely on the nursery for their childcare.  

Summer Staycation for Over 65s

Our Over 65s members enjoyed a Summer Staycation event. Complete with Ploughmans, Sparkling Perry, ice cream, raffle, stalls and a live Ukelele band that had achy bones swaying to the tunes!

Closure of BDCA After School Club

It is with a heavy heart that BDCA announces the closure of our After School and Holiday Club. The last day of service will be Friday 21st July.

This does not affect our Go Wild! Summer Scheme, which is a separate project that will continue to provide activities for children 8- 14 years old between 10 am – 3 pm for the first three weeks of the Summer holidays. Application for Go Wild! will be opening soon.
