Croydon Castle’s homeless work is recognized by royalty

Chris was joined at the garden party by his wife Rebecca, who is a Community Mission Facilitator at Penge Salvation Army.

He said: “It was a privilege to attend the Royal Garden Party on behalf of Croydon Citadel. The weather and food were great!

“The award we received last November was in recognition of the good work undertaken by the staff and volunteers, past and present, who have been involved in The Well program over the last 14 years. It was an honor to have this work supporting people in need also recognized by the Royal Family.”
