ESDEG Hosts Successful NGP Community Forum at Viking Community Centre
On Monday 26 January 2026, ESDEG was delighted to host the NGP Community Forum at Viking Community Centre, bringing together local residents, charities, organisations and support services for a morning of networking, information sharing, and community connection.
The forum welcomed a fantastic turnout from across the local community, with attendees having the opportunity to speak directly with a range of organisations about the services, projects, and support available within Ealing and the surrounding areas.
Throughout the event, guests engaged in valuable conversations, built new connections, and exchanged ideas around community needs, wellbeing, support services
and opportunities for collaboration. The forum created an open and welcoming space for organisations and residents to come together, strengthen relationships, and increase awareness of the resources available locally.
We were pleased to welcome a number of organisations and charities who attended the event to share information about their work and the support they provide to local communities, including Ealing and Hounslow CVS, Home-Start Ealing, Crosslight Advice, Let’s Go Southall, Ealing Foodbank, HFE Mind, Freshwater Foundation and Nexus Community. Their presence helped create meaningful discussions and provided residents with direct access to valuable local services and resources.
Attendees also enjoyed refreshments and sandwiches while networking and taking part in discussions throughout the day.
ESDEG would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to making the event such a success. Special thanks also go to the organisations and community groups who joined us and helped make the forum informative, engaging, and beneficial for local residents.
The NGP Community Forum formed part of ESDEG’s ongoing commitment to strengthening community engagement, supporting local residents and creating spaces where organisations and communities can connect and collaborate.
As ESDEG continues to grow its community work across Ealing, we look forward to creating further events, forums, and opportunities that bring residents and organisations together in meaningful and supportive ways.
