Both will respond to the current challenges and opportunities for these areas and build on the strengths and achievements. This report outlines current provision as a background report to the SWOT analysis presented at committee and sets out the draft priority themes of both plans. 2 A cultural plan for Croydon 2.1 The support of culture in Croydon within the context of the regeneration taking place has been a priority over the last 3-5 years.

The development of a Cultural Plan for the Borough is now timely, to build on this growing groundswell of activity and create a framework for activity for the next 5-10 years.

    50 years after England's World Cup win, scientists solve trophy mystery 29 July 2016 Scientists used a newly-developed X-ray computer tomography (CT) scanner, which was able to view the trophy in three dimensions and reveal its elemental composition using X-ray fluorescence. This enabled its 3-D shape to be recorded as a virtual model, and provided information on its chemical composition. The original trophy was silver and gold plated, while the replica was bronze and gold plated. The chemical analysis did not find any evidence of silver present, but there were strong signals for tin and lead. This suggests that the National Football Museum has the replica trophy.

    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Timothy Godfrey January 2018 Latest News Live Well Croydon The Live Well Croydon Programme is making great headway in supporting Croydon residents towards improving healthy lifestyles, whether it’s signposting people to local opportunities to increase physical activity, provide motivation for those who wish to give up smoking or lose weight or improve mental health and wellbeing; our team of Live Well Advisors have so far provided initial consultations to just over 260 residents. The initial consultation is the first stage of the 12 month behaviour change journey and we are now seeing a number of residents moving onto the next 3 month review stage. As can be seen below, residents are achieving some very positive results from engaging in Live Well Croydon as they work towards their longer term health goals: Mr B – now a non-smoker at 3 months, has increased physical activity levels and improvement in mental wellbeing score. Miss J - 7kg weight loss at 3 month review, reduction in high fat foods and fried foods within her diet; improved mental health and wellbeing. Mr N - reduced calorie intake by 800 calories a day by making small swaps and increased his exercise from under 30 minutes a day to nearly 90 minutes.
