St Luke's Community Centre

Who we are

St Luke's Trust is an old and well-established charity dating back centuries. We serve the community which lives in and around the former parish of St Luke's, Old Street. Nowadays, this comprises the London Borough of Islington's ward of Bunhill, and small pockets of Hackney and Clerkenwell, and the City of London. Often we work outside these ancient boundaries where we have secured external funding and the work fits in with everything else we do.

We own a large community centre in a very deprived part of London. The building provides a space for local people to gather and socialise, and for us and other organisations to deliver services and activities to the local community. We also work outside in the community supporting other groups and running community events. Our centre welcomed over 71000 visitors in 2016 - and approximatley 68000 to our cafe. 

Aims

Our charitable aim is to improve the conditions of life for the people living in the area of benefit. We believe that providing a community centre and services in the area will help break down barriers within the neighbourhood. We will contribute towards the area being welcoming, safe, healthy, alive with activity, and neighbourly.

Whether people live here, learn here, work here, play here or are simply visiting the area, our community centre will welcome them all, and, like their own neighbourhood, they will sense it belongs to them.
