Welcome
Kingsgate Community Association is a registered charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee. It was initially set up in 1982 by a group of local people who wished to establish a community centre in what was then a derelict building, in a common effort to provide low-cost activities to people who would not otherwise be able to access them.
We currently offer around forty-five different services and activities. Please use this website or see our programme for details.
We are able to do this through the receipt of an annual grant from the London Borough of Camden, fundraising activities through various Trusts and Charities, hiring out of office space, and room hire for functions and events.
Management.
Kingsgate Community Centre is run by a voluntary Board of Directors made up of people who live or work in the local community. Day to day service provision is delivered by a staff team and volunteers.
The aim of the association is to promote benefits within the Kilburn Ward of Camden, by linking with local and voluntary organisations and members of the community in a common effort to provide a wide range of social, educational, welfare and leisure activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for the local community. We value all individuals, challenge discrimination and promote positive attitudes to equality to benefit all.
If you are interested in joining the Kingsgate Board of Directors or would like more information, then please call into the reception and ask to speak to the Centre's Office Manager.
