Croydon Opportunity and Fairness Commission Launch

Croydon’s Opportunity and Fairness Commission will be launched at a public meeting on Wednesday 28th January, 7.00pm Stanley Halls, South Norwood.

Commission Chair, Rt Rev Jonathan Clark, Bishop of Croydon, said, “We are delighted to be launching this exciting new venture. Over thenext 12 months we will involve thousands of people in Croydon in our research to help us develop creative ways to promote opportunity and fairness in our borough. We will put emphasis on the many assets we have here already and how we can extend them for the benefit of thewhole community.

He went on to say, “We are a completely independent body and would like to hear from anyone with experience, ideas or a point of view. – We want to understand what the people of Croydon feel about opportunity and fairness and how it affects their lives and those oftheir families.

“Our work will be transparent and open to all, so please come along on Wednesday to hear our plans and to start the conversation.”

The Commission will be publishing a Foundation Report at the meeting that sets out its approach and there will be plenty of opportunities for people to have their say on the night .

We would be grateful if anyone thinking of attending could let us know by emailing contact@opportunitycroydon.org or ringing Jemima on Freephone 0800 612 2182.

The Commission will be calling for evidence from residents, community organisations, businesses and other experts. An interim report will be produced in September. This will be followed by a further phase of work culminating in a final report in January 2016.
