North Acton Pavilion
North Acton Pavilion has been out of use for nearly a decade and ACF along with Funky Fruit and Salad, which runs a café in Walpole Park has been chosen by Ealing Council to give this great space back to the community and put this local resource to use. ACF held its first consultancy meeting on the 28th October with residents and a second with the West Acton Residents Association (WARA) on the 17th of November to discuss plans for the Pavilion. As a result refurbishing has already started and ACF has great plans for the Pavilion, set to open after Easter. Read More...
Responding to the outcomes on the research ACF is developing a program of activities such as
Arts and Crafts activities
Exercise and Well being activities
Children and Youth Activities
Sport Activities
The Pavilion will also be fitted with WiFi facilities enabling all attendees to access the internet, along with new computers and other I.T equipment.
ACF is still conducting research to find out the best way to use the North Acton Pavilions resources if you would like to help please fill out the this questionnaire and return to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
