The Croydon Community Empowerment Network exists to be a collective voice for communities in Croydon. It serves as a network of networks representing communities of interest, geography and expertise. Its members work collaboratively and strategically to improve Croydon for Croydon people. The Network acts as the platform to raise the needs of communities to policy makers and other agencies (statutory and voluntary) to improve engagement and awareness. Through this, the Network works collectively to highlight common agendas and campaign for positive change.
There are currently 348 members, almost 300 online members with the 17 linked groups stretching the membership to represent a range of interests including those of: Refugees, Black Minority Ethnic People, Children & Young People, Older People, Women, Residents, those with faith, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender people, and those with an interest in the environment. the Croydon Community Empowerment Network elects and endorses representatives onto the Croydon Strategic Partnership and Themed Partnerships.
