Community support in Croydon

“I started going to this club when I was 10 years old (nearly 15 years ago) and it's still the best exercise club I've ever been to - there's something for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Classes are fun and varied, with a really supportive atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to boost their confidence, improve their fitness or just try something new.”

“LatinFlow is an amazing community tucked in the heart of Croydon. A year ago I walked into a class knowing nobody there and only having done a single salsa taster 15 years before. One year on I have found lovely group of people who I look forward to seeing every week, and have had what I suspect will be a lifelong love of salsa fostered. Agnesa is an incredibly supportive teacher who takes you from absolute beginner to being confident with all of the basic steps, then hands you over to Thalia and Pedro who can guide you all the way up to expert standard. I cannot recommend this class highly enough.”

“Thanks to Rafal Lisowski at Hirsch Estates, I have found a wonderful flat, my dream flat really, after looking for many months and meeting a lot of different estate agents. Rafal and Hirsch Estates really stood out with being friendly, supportive, professional and helping me in securing this flat which I really love. They also manage the rental and so far, they are very quick to respond, front footed, friendly and a pleasure to work with! From the first contact I had a very good impression of Rafal and Hirsch Estates, and being able to trust them and feeling I can communicate well with them was a huge factor in my deciding to sign the contract. Great work!”

“Huge thanks to Michael at the Halford’s bike departmentin West Wickham! He truly saved the day with a quick turnaround on my daughter’s first bike. We were in a bit of a rush, but Michael went above and beyond to get everything sorted quickly and smoothly. His professionalism, helpful attitude, and genuine care made the whole experience stress-free. My daughter left beaming, and so did we. Couldn’t have asked for better service – thank you, Michael!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care I received at this clinic. Dr Mahasti was non-judgmental, kind, thorough and diagnosed my condition straight away, for which I was given prompt treatment. She then went above and beyond making sure I was tested for every other possible issue, vaxxed to the max and put on Prep. Terese the nurse was also wonderful - experienced, chatty and funny, she really put me at ease in what could have been an uncomfortable situation. A huge thank you to them both!”

“Subject: Appreciation for Outstanding Service at Croydon Biometric Centre Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this letter purely out of appreciation and heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service I received during my recent visit to the Croydon Biometric Centre on 11th July 2025 around 2 pm. In particular, I would like to commend a staff member named Aton, who assisted me during my appointment. He was not only thoroughly professional and efficient in carrying out his duties, but also incredibly polite, respectful, and kind. His calm and welcoming demeanor made me feel comfortable and at ease, which I truly appreciated. He treated me with genuine care and respect, and his conduct stood out in a very positive way. I would also like to extend my thanks to the lady who took my fingerprints, whose friendly smile and courteous attitude added to the overall warmth of the experience. It's rare to encounter such a thoughtful and kind team in formal settings like these, and I felt it deserved to be acknowledged. Please pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to Aton and the entire team at the Croydon centre. I truly wish Aton all the very best in his future—may he continue to grow and reach the highest levels of success. People like him make a real difference in public service. Finally, thanks to everyone and I wanted to mention this because I was simply moved by the respectful and human way I was treated, and felt it was important to share my gratitude. Warm regards, Aga Meher Tahereen.”
