The Fun Day is organised in partnership by the Al Risalah Trust and its schools, St Augustine’s Church, Broadwater Road, Tooting and the Balham and Tooting Community Association (BATCA). Fun Days have been held most years since 2007. Civic and faith leaders have praised the Fun Days’ contribution to building a cohesive, resilient community.
