Posted • 📣 “Where Do We Go Now?”
Streatham’s Only Community Fitness Hub Under Threat
As a local resident and founder of GZZ™ (GloriaZumbaZin), I’ve been leading weekly Zumba® Fitness classes at
The Wellfield Centre (SYCT), 16 Wellfield Road, London SW16 2BP since 2017.
Together, we’ve built a warm, supportive community for adults aged 30 to 60+, a space to move, connect, and feel good both mentally and physically. 💃🏽❤️
But now, the centre’s future is uncertain. The closure is not confirmed, but the threat alone is already hurting us.
⚠️ There is no other community centre like SYCT in Streatham.
If this space disappears… where do people go?
These classes are more than workouts.
They are lifelines, especially for those dealing with loneliness, stress, or chronic health challenges. We’ve managed online & outdoor options, but nothing replaces the magic of in-person connection. ✨
We urgently need your help: visibility, support, or a new venue near Streatham Hill where this community can continue to thrive. 🏠🙏🏽
If you’re a local resident, organisation, or venue that can help, or if you simply believe in protecting community spaces in Streatham, please share this post.
