PTP-Usemi

31/12/2025

As 2025 is coming to an end, we reflect on our achievements and challenges and thank everyone for their support. It has been a fantastic year: we are extremely proud of our new Community service in Croydon and our fabulous Women's groups in Peckham and Brixton!

We celebrate all our stakeholders, especially our service-users and volunteers who make it all possible.

May 2026 bring us more opportunities to support marginalised communities and build more safe spaces of Compassion, Care and Connection!

Thank you Maudsley Charity, Croydon BME Forum, the amazing Croydon team, our fabulous group facilitators Denise and Jasmine, and all our supporters.

A special thank you to Didi Dalley for all her hard work and enthusiasm!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Croydon Community Service Launch Event yesterday. It was a fantastic afternoon with meaningful conversations, new connections and plenty of energy in the room. We were delighted to welcome a range of organisations, including our Croydon BME Forum community partners and many others working to improve health and wellbeing across the borough.

We were especially moved by Mack Jehu's powerful musical performance on mental health. His message resonated deeply with our shared commitment to creating safe and supportive spaces for all.

Our service is built on Community, Compassion and Collaboration. We aim to strengthen support networks, improve access and provide a space where people feel seen and heard! We are currently funded by Maudsley Charity.

Special thanks to Maria Tanko, clinical director Dorothee Bonnigal-Katz and co-director Didi Dalley, our Croydon Team therapists Farrah, Jessy, Stacy and Quincy, and Peer Support workers Kimberley and Helen.
