Westway Trust

Who we are

Westway Trust is a charity that was established to steward the 23-acres of space under the Westway flyover and works together with the local community to enable North Kensington to thrive. We dedicate ourselves to the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of this vibrant community. To deliver our ambitions we work with over 60 member organisations ranging from community groups and residents' associations to schools and sports clubs, as well as other local groups and people.

The estate is home to more than three acres of public green space, 120 tenants including more than 20 charities and non-profit organisations, two sports and fitness facilities, 48 light industrial units, 34 offices, 32 shops, community stables and a skate park.

By working with local people we want North Kensington to continue to be a place where everyone has the opportunity to be physically active; participate in arts and culture; get the economic opportunities they deserve; and live in a green and healthy environment.

Our culture and values

Social Wellbeing

For people to feel proud of the area – its heritage, culture and creativity.

Where everyone has the opportunity to be active and healthy, get the skills and qualifications to get on in life and are engaged in a strong community eco-system and have a sense of belonging.

Environmental Wellbeing

An improved public realm, where green space is cherished, protected and enhanced.

Public consciousness of environmental issues heightened and behavior modified. Environmental sustainability at the heart of every development along the 23 acres and high standards sought at every opportunity.

Economic Wellbeing

A flourishing local economy, where many more local people directly benefit as tenants, traders and earners. Local start-ups supported to get on their feet and develop sustainable enterprises; innovation and entrepreneurship is encouraged; and all tenants are playing a part in building a robust local economy. An economically sustainable organisation that raises income to reinvest in, improve and grow the value of the land.

Our Values

We will offer leadership and support in good measure, working towards the outcomes we believe in. We will be creative and adaptable to work to promote innovative solutions.
