About This Cause
Based in the heart of Central London, Fitzrovia Community Centre (charity number 1104135) is a community hub which brings together local residents, businesses, public services and community organisations to share their skills, talents and ideas. It is situated just inside the boundary of Westminster but was set up in 2012 by the London Borough of Camden. The Centre provides high quality, fully accessible facilities on two floors, including a courtyard garden and industrial standard kitchen. Our garden is an oasis of calm in an area which suffers high traffic, pollution and a lack of green space. FCC aims to improve the quality of life for those who live, work and study in the area of Fitzrovia. We provide a range of health, educational, cultural, recreational and social opportunities which strengthen social links and break down barriers within and between communities. We support all members of the Fitzrovia community, prioritising those with the greatest need. Our core programmes are: Children and Families, supporting families with children aged 0-11; Seniors' services; Health & Wellbeing; and Arts, Culture & Heritage. Many of our beneficiaries are vulnerable and isolated with no family living locally and limited support network. We provide enriching opportunities which improve the mental, physical and emotional health of our residents, and bring together people of all backgrounds. We are a hub for the plethora of skills and talents found in our area, for example our links with local businesses enhance our offer through specialist corporate volunteers. We are resident-led; 84% of our staff, Trustees and volunteers are based within 1.5 miles of the Centre and we have a track record in upskilling and developing local people. In addition to our in-house services, the Centre is host to a range of other services and activities provided by local charity partners, businesses and individuals.
