CORONA COVID – 19 UPDATE
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, BPCA is operating with fewer resources . We are still operating our Services in line with guidance with Government and Local Authority and are offering an Outreach Service.
Opal Support Hub in Tower Hamlets and Sapphire Support Hub in Newham are both closed for the time being but we are looking at new ways to continue provide a service either online, virtual, whatsApp, phone if you are interested please get in touch.
We understand that these are uncertain times and we are monitoring the situation to make sure we can provide the best support for staff and all of our users with the resources available.
Please continue to check our website and social media platforms for regular updates of all our services.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time.

WHAT WE’ VE BEEN UP TO
There is so much happening at BPCA every day, here are a few highlights
SEPTEMBER DAY TRIPS
We had so much fun visiting the South Norwood Country Park and Wildspace Conservation Park in the past weeks! Everyone enjoyed spending time outdoors, picking apples and seeing the trees changing to their Autumn colours!

CHILLI PLANTS SALE
In September we organised a plant sale in partnership with Ayoka, the neighbouring charity shop. All of the chilli plants were grown by our users and some of the pots were even handpainted by them in our arts classes. We set up a stall and spent a few hours chatting with locals until we sold everything 🙂 All of the income went towards our users’ birthday gifts fund.
AUGUST SPORTS DAY
We enjoyed a full day of playing games outdoors, with everyone participating, having fun and winning a medal.
