our story
founders and directors of boon Georgina and lawrence arsalides
I am very fortunate to be from a big family in a small village, and in my younger years, our home was always open and full of friends and family. The love and care I received in return from my friends and their families is what community means to me.
Those early experiences made an imprint on my heart -community matters!
After moving to London, the births of our three children and the dreaded lockdowns of 2020, my husband and I realised we were missing community.
We had a light bulb moment! We wanted to make a difference - alleviate loneliness by creating a project that is all about connection. We decided to create a space for families to enjoy, a place for groups to meet and new friendships to form.
This is where Boon came alive.
Boon means 'a godsend', ' a blessing', and 'a bonus'. This is what we want to give to Croydon
