Brickworks Community Centre

Brickworks Community Centre is a charity dedicated to offering support to individuals facing challenges relating to financial struggles, childcare, access to food, employment issues, discrimination and feelings of loneliness.

The community centre is located in Crouch Hill, and offers a variety of services to local people, including a food bank, a nursery, stay-and-play sessions for under-fives, accessible yoga, after-school clubs, ballet classes, and health and wellbeing workshops and a lunch club for over 50s.

Brickworks Community Centre seek to provide empathetic community support to empower and elevate local people every day, across generations & cultural identities. They offer a non-judgemental and inclusive space and nurture community confidence and cohesion. They state, "Our door, hearts and ears are always open. Every day the focus is on helping people feel better."

Cllr Khurana said "I am very proud to be raising funds and awareness for Brickworks Community Centre. They are my local community centre, and they are everything that I love about our community… their doors are open to all, no judgements, no questions, just support, care and compassion.  I want to shout their praises from the rooftops, so everyone knows who they are and what they do."
