Community & Events
We want people to be inspired by the Alton and for the Alton to be inspired by people. Community will feature strongly in the transformation of the Alton.
Weekly Community Information Stall
Please come along and see us at our weekly Community Information Stall. You will find us outside the Base on Danebury Avenue every Friday afternoon from 2pm until 4pm.
Why not come along to hear all our local news, find out about events and discover new opportunities? You can find out more about all the activities, services and community groups in your area. You can also access information and advice provided by local organisations.
If you're looking to promote your own community events and activities, why not come along and share your posters, flyers and information with local residents.
Speak to our friendly team to discover the ways you can get involved in your community.
We're also looking for volunteers, so please contact Jo Baxter for more information.
Make your lived experience matter, help shape the future of the Alton Estate by joining the Alton Access & Inclusion Panel
Everyone experiences the Alton Estate differently and we are keen to hear from a diverse range of people of all ages and abilities. Whether you are disabled, a carer, use a pram, experience barriers such as feeling unsafe, or simply feel unheard, we would love you to come along.
The panel meets 3-4 times a year to discuss key topics, with a £20 voucher available for each meeting you come to.
For more info contact Jo Baxter by email, or telephone 020 8871 6720.

Future Foundations: Family Hub Time Capsule Project
A snapshot of life, memories and hopes from local families.
An intergenerational project celebrating the families, cultures and community of the Alton Estate.
Our event takes place at the Family Hub on Thursday 29th October, from 2pm-4pm.
Children, parents, grandparents and carers who use the Family Hub will be invited to create drawings and messages about:
- Favourite activities at the Family Hub
- Favourite toys
- Favourite foods
- Hopes and dreams for the future
These contributions will form a giant illustrated Time Capsule artwork displayed on the hoarding around the new Block A Community Centre.
The original drawings and messages will also be placed inside a real time capsule and buried within the building's foundations, creating a lasting record of the families who helped shape the new centre.
