Vision

The Board of Trustees considered the overall strategic direction of the Trust and agreed that the charity’s purpose was to help in sustaining and changing the neighbourhood to be a –  welcoming, living, neighbourly community in South Islington for all people to contribute to working, playing and learning together for their mutual benefit and well-being.

A welcoming, living, neighbourly community in south Islington for all people to contribute to working, playing and learning together for their mutual benefit and well-being.

Mission

St Luke’s will achieve its vision through creating a better sense of community which is facilitated by:

  • Providing a community centre that is a hub for local people and organisations to work, play and learn in South Islington.
  • Providing and enabling services, activities and events that are delivered to a high standard and are open to all.
  • Providing a voice for, and on behalf of, the local area to ensure that services identified as required are provided to meet local needs.
  • St Luke’s is an organisation that will support everyone living locally and values the benefits of community cohesion. However, the focus of our charitable activities seeks to address the most pressing social needs in the area (including child poverty, unemployment, poor health, and isolation and poverty among older people) and particularly recognises those individuals and communities who suffer the greatest social inequality and exclusion.

We may still be able to support you if you live just outside these boundaries, so please contact us at St Luke’s Community Centre for more details on 020 7549 8181 or via our email info@slpt.org.uk

St Luke’s is an accredited London Living Wage organisation and pays all staff the London Living Wage across its Community Centre, Central Street Cafe and Central Street Cookery School.
