About this Event
Our Community Forum is where we look back on the year together and plan what comes next: what you loved, what we could do better, and what you’d like to see more of in 2027. Everyone’s welcome, whether you’ve been part of the Merton Plus community since the beginning or would like to find out more about what we do and how you can get involved.
And once the serious bit is done, the tinsel comes out for our Christmas party with live entertainment! Dress festive & fabulous, or just come as you are!
Can't make if for the Forum at 6:30pm? You’re very welcome to come along just for the social from around 8pm.
