Our Mission
To establish a hub that offers essential resources and equal opportunities for residents to develop their life skills and mental wellbeing, ultimately empowering our local and neighbouring communities
​​
We believe a single action can transform a community, and collective action can change the world. Through diligent advocacy and outreach, our team is dedicated to making a meaningful, lasting impact on the broader community.

Research identifies Lewisham as a borough with significant social challenges: over a third of children live in poverty, and nearly 37% of 19-year-olds lack a Level 3 qualification. Furthermore, the borough maintains high levels of benefit dependency. The Winslade Estate is situated within a particularly underserved pocket of London, where a diverse community—including lone parents, EAL families, and senior citizens—frequently lacks access to essential life-skills training and mental health support.​
