We are in the process of building a new, vibrant centre for community life. Our new building on the corner of Rushworth Street and Pocock Street, SE1 will be fully accessible and able to support a wide variety of local events and activities.

The attractive and modern building will feature a hall with sprung floor, meeting rooms, a cafe, computer rooms, classrooms and other skills learning rooms in addition to 15 new affordable homes.

Please download our floor plans to see what the finished result will look like:

Progress

The building of the structural walls, floors, external glazing and doors will be finished in early 2012. We will finish the redevelopment by fitting out the interior of the building ready to open at the beginning of 2013. The affordable homes will be available via the Notting Hill Housing Trust in late summer 2012.

Funds

We have now raised over 85% of the funds required to complete the project. We are very grateful for the support given to us by Notting Hill Housing Trust, our development partner, and the London Borough of Southwark.

We are continuing to raise money for the completion of the building. If you would like to contribute either with a donation of funds or equipment, please get in touch.
