This is the only community centre in all of Camberwell and Loughborough-Junction. For this reason many people come to request assistance from us. Unfortunately, due to shortage of funds we are unable to assist.
The centre is set up by an Islamic organisation; however, it is designed entirely for the community as a whole. The centre is used both by Muslims and non Muslims
Loughborough Junction is a poor area with a large number of BAME (Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic) communities.
There is a need for integration and advancement so that the local people can progress to better living and better employment.
It is our aim to motivate people into returning to work by assisting them with training and encouragement.
It is our aim to assist women who have had trouble in their marriage or those who have suffered violence.
The centre requires to-recruit people who will dedicate their time and expertise to carry out all the projects.
