Hampstead Community Centre

& Community Market

is an independent charitable organisation run by an elected board of trustees.

Founded in 1976; the building started life as a coach house and then a garage after which it was renovated by a group of local people after it fell into disrepair.

 

The Centre aims to make the following overall and specific differences to the lives of residents living in the area:

 

Reduce isolation and promote stimulating activity for older people

Improve peoples access to safe, stimulating care for children aged 5-12

Improve peoples access to advice, information, support, counselling and advocacy

Improve peoples access to meeting space for voluntary and community groups

Promote & support healthy living, including the provision of a produce market for the locality

Increase creative play opportunities for children under 5 and support to their parents/carers

 

These differences have been achieved by the provision of activities and services that include:

 

Over 60s club & events & Christmas Day Lunch (inc. transport) for older people on their own

Under 5s: - 4 morning session parent/carer with toddler groups

After School Club Playcentre (5-12's) - Term-Time Monday - Friday

Playschemes (5-12's): Summer, Easter & half-terms in May/June, October & February

Activities & services continue to function due to support from Camden Council & Charitable Trusts.
