We are a non-profit trust responsible for the running of leisure and culture facilities on behalf of the London Borough of Redbridge. In May 2011 Redbridge Council’s Culture and Leisure Services merged with charitable trust Vision – Redbridge Culture & Leisure. The main aim for this change was to give residents more opportunities to get involved in their local park, library or sports centre as wel

l making savings to the Council. The Trust now manages a wide range of cultural, sport and leisure facilities and services in partnership with the London Borough of Redbridge. These facilities and services include the borough’s libraries, heritage, sport & leisure facilities, parks & open spaces, grounds maintenance, halls hire and events. Working alongside the Trust’s management team, the organisation is overseen by a Board of Director Trustees made up of community representatives and local Councillors.

🎭 RO-TES រទេះ by Stopgap Dance Company

Catch this powerful 30 minute performance as part of Redbridge Outdoor Arts this summer.

Nadenh grew up on a boat within the jungle of Cambodia. As a Disabled child he could swim before he could wheel. The first time he saw a RO-TES-រទេះ (Khmer for wagon) was the moment he realised he could move with the land too.

Inspired by his Cambodian heritage Nadenh reimagines his wheelchair as a place that can support more than just his body.

📅 Sat 22 Aug: 11am & 2pm, Ken Aston Square
📅 Sun 23 Aug: 1pm & 3pm, Ilford Town Centre (BSL interpreted)

✨ Free to attend: come along and enjoy!
